You are reviewing a proposal from an oceanographer who wants funding to study past ocean conditions by studying sediments. They propose to study sediments that will tell them about conditions in the ocean before the breakup of Pangea, which began 200 million years ago. You quickly see something wrong with the proposal and recommend it not be funded. Why is this proposed study not possible?

Because Pangaea has started 200 million years ago

Explanation.

In the proposal, they stated that they want to study the sediments before the break of Pangaea , the break of pangaea began 200 million years ago, the process and method of study is dependent on the fact that Pangaea has not broken, but further reading , it is clear that it has started 200 million years ago, then obviously ,since the break has started 200 millions year ago, they must have had great impact on the sediments that the researcher wants to use to carry out the research.

The methodology is the error and that is why the proposed study is not possible as Pangaea as already started breaking since 200 million years ago.
