The supercontinent existed until approximately 1.4 billion years ago, when it began to fragment due to the movement of tectonic plates, the immense blocks that make up the planet‘s outermost rock layer. Wilson Teixeira The graphite-rich rock sample was collected from the Itapecerica mine in the Minas Gerais StateWilson Teixeira The main evidence for this union is the ages of the graphite-rich rocks and the geological conditions under which they were created in Minas Gerais and China “This mineral is formed under high temperatures and pressure and is therefore a sign of regions where huge collisions occurred between ancient continents,” explains Teixeira the fact that the Brazilian and Chinese graphite is similar in age indicates that they originated from collision processes that occurred at the same time or very close together in time Brazil is home to 27% of the world’s graphite reserves Teixeira believes that if what is now part of South America really was a close neighbor of present-day northern China 1.9 billion years ago then areas of what would later become Africa were almost certainly present in the region too growing evidence has suggested that Minas Gerais and Bahia were once united with the African continent forming a geologically stable structure called the São Francisco-Congo craton “There is a lot of debate about Columbia’s configuration,” says geophysicist Manoel D’Agrella a professor at USP’s Institute of Astronomy and Atmospheric Sciences (IAG-USP) and a specialist in paleomagnetism a field of geophysics that studies the intensity and direction of the Earth’s magnetic field recorded in rocks The magnetic information recorded within the rocks reveals their location on the planet at the time they were formed D’Agrella and his team have attempted to establish the successive positions that the northern region of South America would have occupied during Columbia’s existence as detailed in a 2016 article in the Brazilian Journal of Geology He recently began analyzing rocks from Minas Gerais to see if their magnetic characteristics correspond to the positions of the São Francisco-Congo and northern China cratons suggested by Teixeira and his group Many models that attempt to explain where the current continents were positioned in Columbia do not place the São Francisco-Congo formation near northern China which is often attached to what corresponds to present-day Australia Columbia’s existence was first proposed in 2002 by geologists John Rogers from the University of North Carolina and Madhava Santosh from the University of Geosciences in Beijing based on similarities between the rock formations in India and the Columbia River region of the US state of Washington When Columbia broke up approximately 1.1 billion years ago From the fragments of Rodinia came Laurasia With the continued movement of the tectonic plates which move away from or toward each other at speeds of up to 10 centimeters per year geologists predict that a new supercontinent called Amasia may form in the next 250 million years resulting from a collision of North America and Asia © Revista Pesquisa FAPESP -

This interview was conducted through a Portuguese-language translator Next Fight: Saturday vs. Ronald Vasquez (4-2) at Empire MMA 5 in Medellin, Colombia (Free video stream on Sunday) Background: There have only been three Colombia-born fighters in UFC history and budding Colombian Jhon Tacha is lucky enough to have brushed shoulders with one who he calls his "sports father," early on in his career As the Colombian regional scene continues to develop He's taken on every challenge available and has spent time training under coach Eric Albarracin and alongside the Pitbull Brothers in Brazil Tacha has seven finishes including six knockouts and one submission Tacha has utilized slick striking and his Serrano-engrained wrestling to round out his attack Getting good looks from all over South America will be huge for his development Albarracin and the Freires are A-list mentors for a youngster like Tacha The UFC continues its efforts to spotlight and sign Latin American fighters – and the region as a whole has taken full advantage of their earned opportunities Colombia could use another representative in the big show as there are not currently any on the roster especially if he pockets the Empire MMA strap I feel like I've been working my life whole life for this opportunity Working in the mountains and building my endurance in the altitude I've drawn great experience with my mentor formerly of the UFC an advantage above most other Latin Americans and South Americans I feel I can handle the move to the next level easily I did a camp in Brazil where I worked with the Pitbull Brothers and Eric Albarracin A lot of the fighters there in camp have all fought in high levels of Bellator I feel confident I'm ready for the next level and that I can do a good job I also trust that my coaches and management will get me there." I'm just not happy with simply getting here It would be a big honor and dream to represent my country in being the fourth UFC fighter from Colombia This interview was conducted using a Spanish-language interpreter Evan Cutts (15-6) at Peak Fighting 30 in Frisco Background: A college football player at East Central University in Ada Kris Vereen tried out for the CFL and landed in the Arena Football League His friend Kelvin Rayford challenged him to a judo class but quickly ate humble pie while a teenage kid tossed him around Competitions or fights weren’t on the agenda but opportunities presented themselves and his life trajectory changed he met up with UFC alum Mark De La Rosa and the rest was history Vereen has had 10 professional fights including two no contests which is on the older side for his experience level but it’s important to remember he brought an unusual level of athleticism into MMA as a collegiate and professional football player he’s proven to be a finisher – with a 90 percent rate of ending fights inside the distance If he goes out there and takes care of business at Peak Fighting he seems like a perfect candidate for Dana White’s Contender Series what better gauge than to go against another top prospect with a potential contract on the line But maybe the other guys haven't seen it like that It's very exciting to be able to fight someone of his caliber That just goes to show you that I've been doing the proper things to share the cage with such a name like Evan I don't know why he hasn't been in the UFC or 'Dana White's Contender Series' yet It just goes to show that I must be doing something pretty well to have the honor to share the cage with him." then we have to fight a couple more regionals But it's a high reward in that if everything goes the way I want it to go Taking these tough fights is always nerve-racking we know we're at and we have to take it to get where we want to go." I just need to focus on July 15 and handle July 15 and then we'll be able to worry about the rest of the year I won't overlook that date and start making plans That would be the worst thing I could do."

I feel pretty good about this fight and what it does for my career I think it really gets me knocking on the door He has a title under his belt for another UFC Fight Pass promotion it'll be two (opponents) I feel will show I deserve to be fighting up there with the best guys in the world."
