Identify the types of nouns in this passage. Make a table of five columns and fill them in.
About 225 million years ago, India
was a large island still situated off
the Australian coast. A vast ocean
called Tethys Sea separated India from
the Asian continent. About 200 million
years ago, India started moving towards
the north when Pangaea separated. Its
northward movement slowed down
when India hit Asia about 40 to 50
million years ago. This collision and
related decrease in the rate of plate
movement is thought by the scientists
to be the beginning of the fast elevation of the Himalayas. The Himalayas and the Tibetan
Plateau have risen very rapidly. In just about 50 million years, peaks such as Mt Everest have
risen to heights of more than 9 k.m. The intrusion of the two landmasses hasn't yet ended.
The Himalayas continue to rise by more than 1 c.m. a year. Scientists discovered layers of pink
sandstone containing grains of magnetic minerals (magnetite) 50 k.m. north of Lhasa, which
is the capital of Tibet. This helped them study the pattern of the Earth's flip-flopping magnetic
field. These sandstones also contain plant and animal fossils that were deposited when the
water of the Tethys Sea periodically flooded the region. The study of these fossils has revealed
not only their geologic age but also the type of environment and climate in which they formed.
Fossils found in the sandstone layers offer dramatic evidence of the climate change in
the Tibetan region due to plate movement over the past 100 million years.
