Really? I'm going to an invitational this weekend so I guess I'll find outOrigamiPlanet wrote:They’re just little indicators of how much people contribute, nothing special.Pettywap wrote:If you are wondering about the stars under your username, those stars are not really important.fuzzball wrote:Dose anyone know what the stars are for?
Also, is it just me, or are the topics more inclined to more history and chemistry-related question’s this year and slightly less on plate tectonics themselves?
Yeah, I've taken a couple of invitational tests from this year but not yet actually gone to an invitational, and I don't think I've taken enough DP tests to say if there's a general trend one way or the other...Pettywap wrote:Really?

I think you should have columns because it is unlikely that you will be putting huge paragraphs. I think you should put pictures with pictures if you have any.fffurious wrote:What's a good way to format your notes for this event? I've only ever happened to do events with 1-page note sheets, and I'm wondering what the best way to organize notes for this is.
I found a book over the summer with memoirs from like 12 people from the first half of the 20th century who were involved in the development of plate tectonics and like it was cool I guess but it didn't seem all that scientific so...Skink wrote:To answer a question raised some time ago, I found a lot of the gravity anomaly material in geophysics texts. What I'm still lacking solid sourcing for is the tectonic history (especially NA) and future projections stuff. It's all in bits and pieces, but, surely, there's a singular reference somewhere...
For 3-f: How does continental drift play a role in the opening and closing of ocean gateways and land bridges specifically? Can someone also list specific examples of ocean circulation changes, climate changes, and biotic migrations? This topic seems so broad... do they expect us to reference most of the changes and migrations since 3 billion years ago?? I have searched for days to no avail 
any help would be so greatly appreciated!!I don't find a lot of these things, but they usually don't ask you this stuff too much. Landbridges I don't see a lot of only the fact that it hypothetically could've helped move many living things (based on fossils maybe). With ocean circulation just look it up and you should be able to find pictures and explanations on the current's movements.S.liiin wrote:
If you don't feel like looking through every page of this forum I don't blame you, but fyi, lots of other people have asked the exact same question you have, so I wouldn't be quite so worried about it. I know the opening of the Antarctic Circumpolar current is the current thing I've seen the most...Pettywap wrote:I don't find a lot of these things, but they usually don't ask you this stuff too much.
