Over time, the continents on Earth are moving and changing their positions V-E-R-Y slowly. This means that millions of years ago the continents were in different locations than they are today. Look closely at the two
maps: observe where the region called South China was located 306 million years ago, and compare that to
where it is located today. After you've made your observations, answer the question below.

1. Do you think the changing position of South China has affected its air temperature? Why or why not?

Yes, it has! In the first map, China is very near to Antarctica, which is obviously EXTREMELY cold, so at that time, China must have been cold. Now, it’s actually quite warm in Southern China as it is closer to the equator.

after defeating german forces in north africa allied leaders turned their attention to "italy," since this was the location that made the most geographic sense before invading northern europe via france. 

polisit can also mean a body of citizens. in modern historiography, polis is normally used to indicate the ancient greek city-states, like classical athens and its contemporaries, and thus is often translated as "city-state". the body of citizens came to be the most important meaning of the term polis in ancient greece.
