INDIA WAS ONCE AN ISLAND

INDIA WAS ONCE AN ISLAND
India was once a continent. More than 100 million years ago, when dinosaurs roamed the earth,
most of what is now India was an island.
It had broken off from an ancient supercontinent referred to as Gondwanaland by paleogeographers
(named after Gondwana, a forested area of central India), and was moving slowly northwards.
About 50 million years ago, dinosaurs by now extinct, the India continental plate collided with
Asia, buckling the coastal area of both continents and creating the Himalayas - the world's
youngest major mountain range - and, of course, the highest.
Evidence of this ancient history is provided by fossilised sea shells that can still be found
high in the mountains. The plate on which the subcontinent rests continues to press slowly
northwards, and is the reason why the height of Mount Everest increases slightly every year.

what does every dream means???

Some Common Dreams and Symbols and Why They’re Important For 90 minutes to two hours or more each night, every single person on Earth dreams. Sometimes, the dreams are straightforward in their meaning to the dreamer: a long-lost friend reappears, a tropical beach beckons or the lottery jackpot is within reach. But dreams don’t always tell a simple story, and the field of dream research becomes even more fascinating when people from different cultures and backgrounds report having similar dreams. “Dreams are a universal language, creating often elaborate images out of emotional concepts,” explains Suzanne Bergmann, a licensed social worker and professional dream worker for more than 16 years. Bergmann, who is part of the experienced team of Dream Reflectors at DreamsCloud that provide feedback and insight about dreams, has identified 14 common images found in dreams posted to the DreamsCloud user-generated dreams database. “There’s no single, d...
