A. Assume that the rate at which N. America and Eurasia are drifting apart has and will remain constant. To determine when the continents separated you'd: current distance between continents / rate of drift = time (ago) So for instance (made up numbers): (2000 miles) / (1 mile/year) = 2000 years remember...that's 2000 years ago. You have to subtract the number of years from the current year to get the specific point in time.

A. They are both great fields. I think both majors could land an equal opportunity for a job. However, depending on what level of education you receive will most likely determine the probability of a job placement.
