Million years ago, we have seven continents. These are the North America,
South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia and Antarctica. They are
separated with each other. The temperatures of the countries vary on the
location of the country in the globe.
In the year 495 B.C., scientists and geologists Shaira Mae Dulfo, Olive
Pontino and Lorenge Sia proposed the Displacement Theory that explains
why we have our continents now. Before, these continents were separated
with each other but continue moving as the forces were driven them away
or close with each other that brings the idea of the geologists and scientists
Dulfo, Pontino and Sia to Displacement Theory.
They studied that after millions of years, because the continents are
moving closer or away from each other, they concluded that there will come
a time where some continents will collide or some continents will being pull
away from each other. This theory lasted for how many years and
continues with the ideas of each scientist to support their theory.
The Theory stated that because of the natural happenings in our Earth, just
like the seafloor spreading, gravitational pull, convection current, slab pull,
continental drift and the energies beneath and the surface of the earth bring
the continents the possibility to collide or pull each other.
Many believed and many don’t. But for some people who believe just like
the known author Allyza Faith Carugda, who has the pen name of “Faithy
Faith” she wrote a book entitled “What will happen to the Continents
Millions of years after?” This is where she explained and believed the
Displacement Theory proposed by scientists and geologists Dulfo, Pontino
and Sia.
Because of it, the scientists died proving and truly believing their theory.
Many tried to use the theory to support other theories after a while but they
failed to connect it as they were surprised by how they came up with it.
But millions of years after, as the current situation of our continents is truly
what the Displacement Theory is keep on pushing throughout the gone
years. We have the South Antarctica, the collision of the said South
America and Antarctica. The North America moved aside, Europe moves
towards to Northern Asia and Asia took place towards the centre.
Then a new theory was introduced by the first Filipino geologists, Jerold
Novesteras who proposed a theory. His theory is the Continental
Displacement Theory as the continuation of the Displacement Theory of the
scientists and geologists Dulfo, Pontino, and Sia. He just proposed the
Theory of the known scientists all credits to them, explaining, and also
came up with his own conclusions throughout his furthermore study of the
theory.
He said that the collision of the South America and Antarctica result to the
vanished country called Hawaii. As stated by the facts millions of years
ago, this country had a lot of active volcanoes and a small group of islands.
The force exerted because of the collision of the South America and
Antarctica causes this historical country out of the map.
But the collision of the South America and Antarctica causes the Hawaii to
be left as history, the force exerted in their collision causes the formation of
our tallest mountain of the whole world, the “Hambirlin Mountain.”
Jerold Novesteras, as the first Filipino Geologists who expanded the theory
bring pride to the Filipino people. “I don’t own anything even a single idea.
It is all to our scientists and geologists Dulfo, Pontino and Sia that gave us
this kind of theory,” he stated as he got his last interview at the age of 53
years old.
And now, we still no longer know what will happen in the next… millions of
years.
