This 7-minute radio program summarizes recent science news stories: 1) A Filipino scientist became the first from the Philippines to reach the third deepest point on Earth. 2) German meteorologist Alfred Wegener, who proposed the theory of continental drift, died at age 50 during an expedition to Greenland. 3) Fossils of Mesosaurus, an early aquatic reptile, provided evidence for Wegener's theory by being found in separated regions, implying the continents were once joined. 4) Geologists found the Earth's magnetic poles are nearing reversal, which could disrupt technology and increase radiation levels.

P.J GONZALES.

NEWS REPORTER 1: GERMAN METEOROLOGIST ALFRED WEGENER PASSES AWAY AT


50 YEARS OLD THIS NOVEMBER 1930. HE WAS REPORTED TO FREEZE TO DEATH DUE
TO THE EXTREME TEMPERATURES ON HIS EXPEDITION TO GREENLAND. ALTHOUGH
DYING AT A YOUNG AGE, WEGENER WAS ABLE TO PUBLISH THE FOURTH REVISION
OF HIS CONTROVERSIAL BOOK, “THE ORIGIN OF CONTINENTS AND OCEANS”, WHICH
CONTAINS HIS OBSERVATION, STATING SHALLOW OCEANS WERE GEOLOGICALLY
YOUNGER.

NEWS REPORTER: AND THIS IS SCIENTIST PATROL. THE NEWS FOR THE CURIOUS. P.J
GONZALES, YOUR PATROL-EARTH REPORTING.

ANCHOR 1: EARTH PATROL! GEOLOGISTS CLAIM MESOSAURUS FOSSILS PROVE
WEGENER'S CONTINENTAL DRIFT THEORY. TO GIVE US FURTHER DETAILS, HERE IS
ROSEI TOLENTINO.

NEWS REPORTER 2: GEOLOGISTS CLAIM MESOSAURUS, AN EARLY AQUATIC


RELATIVE OF REPTILES, PROVIDES EVIDENCE FOR ALFRED WEGENER'S THEORY
OF CONTINENTAL DRIFT BECAUSE ITS REMAINS WERE DISCOVERED IN TWO
WIDELY SEPARATED REGIONS, SOUTHERN AFRICA AND EASTERN SOUTH
AMERICA, TWO-HUNDRED SEVENTY-FIVE MILLION YEARS AGO,
IMPLYING THAT THE CONTINENTS WERE ONCE JOINED. OTHER EVIDENCE
SUGGESTS THAT MESOSAURUS COULDN'T SWIM ACROSS CONTINENTS BECAUSE
MESOSAURUS, WHICH WERE FRESHWATER REPTILES THAT WEREN'T STRONG
SWIMMERS, WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO SURVIVE IN SALTWATER.

THE NEWS FOR THE CURIOUS. ROSEI TOLENTINO, YOUR PATROL-EARTH REPORTING.

ANCHOR 1: EARTH PATROL! IT’S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE… MAGNETIC


CHRISTMAS TRAGEDY? GEOLOGISTS FIND THE EARTH'S MAGNETIC POLES NEARING
IT'S REVERSAL.

ANCHOR 2: TO GIVE US THE UPDATE IS OUR RESIDENT GEOLOGIST, MR. STEVEN


AUSTIN.

GUEST REPORTER: GEOLOGISTS HAVE FOUND THAT THE


EARTH'S MAGNETIC POLES ARE NEARING ITS REVERSAL. THIS WILL SHAKE UP THE
TECHNOLOGICAL STATUS QUO AND CAN WORSEN RADIATION RAYS FROM SPACE
WHICH LEADS TO SATELLITE MALFUNCTION AND RUIN COMMUNICATION AND
NAVIGATION. WE DON’T KNOW HOW LONG WE'VE GOT BUT WE SHOULD ALWAYS BE
PREPARED FOR SUCH TRAGEDY. FOR EARTHLY UPDATES, THIS IS YOUR RESIDENT
GEOLOGIST. THE NEWS FOR THE CURIOUS. STEVEN AUSTIN, REPORTING.
