** watch future Linda Hall Library lectures live at new.livestream.com/lindahall ** November 19, 2019, at Johnson County Community College. Presented by Bill Shefchik, geologist (retired), Burns & McDonnell Engineering Company in Kansas City, Missouri The third and final session covers the latest billion years in the geology of Northern Scotland, including another whole mountain range being thrust up and being eroded completely away during the formation and subsequent breakup of the supercontinent Pangea. Breaking up can be hard, but in any case, the consequences of this breakup have been, and continue to be, profound. We will also take a deeper dive into the science behind the fossil record. For a finishing touch, we will discuss earthquakes, volcanoes, and a few present-day popular myths.
