4.5 How wide were the oceans? Once evidence has been found to prove the existence of an ancient ocean, is it possible to calculate its maximum width? Palaeomagnetic studies can give geologists an idea of the palaeolatitude (N–S) of the ocean but not its palaeolongitude (E–W), so depending on its orientation, an indication of how wide it was may not be possible. However, an approximate indication of how wide the former oceans were can be obtained by examining the fossil faunal assemblages that are present (e.g.

24.241 Logic I (MIT)
This course provides an introduction to the aims and techniques of formal logic.

Our subject (though, to be sure, we can only scratch the surface) will be truth and proof, and the connection between them.
