    Sharks are older than trees.

    They’re older than a lot of things. Land plants, Yellowstone, appendages,dinosaurs, doritos.

      Sharks are older than trees.

      But are younger than the mountains.

          The geologic processes that led to the formation of the Appalachian Mountains started 1.1 billion years ago.

          There’s no shark without Mountain Mama

        Ehhhh they’re younger than some mountains though. There are ranges that are over a billion years old, but the Himalayas are “only” some 40-70 million years old, depending on when you start counting (40-50 if you actually start from being mountains, 70 if you start from “ground moves up”)

          They’re mountains when it’s impressive that I can throw a football over them.

      What do you think the first several hundreds of millions of years were like before they had Doritos?
