The evidence which gave rise to the theory of continental drift -- more correctly called plate tectonics -- includes the following: âº The coasts of the continents surrounding the Atlantic ocean could, if the continents were moved closer, fit together like a jigsaw puzzle.
Stubbed toes can cause extreme pain, especially in the first few minutes after the stubbing. A stubbed toe basically means a toe that has been knocked or hit against something, end on. Pain is almost inevitable, especially when pressing over the stubbed area and it can often be difficult to tell if your toe is broken or not. A stubbed toe may swell and can form a bruise, often under the nail.
Rust doesn't cause tetanus, but stepping on a nail might if you're not immunized. In fact, any damage to the skin, even burns and blisters, allows tetanus-causing bacteria to enter the body. Tetanus is not as common as it once was. Still, tetanus patients have only about a 50-50 chance of recovering. Most tetanus deaths occur among infants and the elderly. Everyone who has not had a tetanus shot is at risk to this disease. However, persons in certain occupations such as farming, firefighting, and construction, and campers and gardeners, are at higher risk.
