Difference between Antarctica and Cretaceous

Antarctica vs. Cretaceous

Antarctica is Earth's southernmost continent. The Cretaceous is a geologic period and system that spans 79 million years from the end of the Jurassic Period million years ago (mya) to the beginning of the Paleogene Period mya.

Antarctica and Cretaceous have 28 things in common (in Unionpedia): Algae, Ammonoidea, Atlantic Ocean, Australia, Biodiversity, Continent, Continental shelf, Diatom, Equator, Fauna, Flowering plant, France, Gondwana, Indian Ocean, Invertebrate, Jurassic, Limestone, Marsupial, Mesozoic, Paleozoic, Phytoplankton, Pinophyta, Plant, Plate tectonics, Shale, South Pole, Supercontinent, Volcano.

Algae

Algae (singular alga) is an informal term for a large, diverse group of photosynthetic organisms that are not necessarily closely related, and is thus polyphyletic.

Diatom

Diatoms (diá-tom-os "cut in half", from diá, "through" or "apart"; and the root of tém-n-ō, "I cut".) are a major group of microorganisms found in the oceans, waterways and soils of the world.

Plate tectonics

Plate tectonics (from the Late Latin tectonicus, from the τεκτονικός "pertaining to building") is a scientific theory describing the large-scale motion of seven large plates and the movements of a larger number of smaller plates of the Earth's lithosphere, since tectonic processes began on Earth between 3 and 3.5 billion years ago.
