Alright, here's the answer to the trivia question from Sunday.
Going to meteorology now. The National Weather Service has a watch/warning system that consists of Severe thunderstorm and tornado watches and warnings. However, there is enhanced versions of each of these. What are these enhancements known as?
Answer: A. PDS (Particularly Dangerous Situation) is a qualifier that enhances the wording of various weather watches and warnings. THe first one issued was a Tornado Watch issued on April 2nd, 1982. Nowadays, the PDS term is used for everything from flash flood warnings, severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings to even wind chill warnings.
THe middle two possibilities were terms I made up on the fly. The bottom (MCS) isn't a real term but is commonly used in EAS weather scenarios on Youtube.
Monday's QuestionGoing to Geology/geography. It's common knowledge that plate tectonics have shifted the continents over millions of years, and that all 7 continents were once combined into a supercontinent. What is the name of the most recent (and well known) of these supercontinents?
A: Gondwana

C: Pangaea
