Pangea was a huge landmass made of all the continents today. Tectonic plates in the Earth moved, causing it to split apart.
pangea was formed because all the tectonic plates came together and eventually little by little they shifted in different directions and became what you see today
The plate tectonics are the mechanisms that started to drift Pangaea (super continent) into separate continents 200billion years ago into the continents we have today. :D
The Pangaea super-continent no longer exists because it has broken up into the continents that exist today, as a result of continental drift caused by convection currents in the earth's mantle.
Pangaea is true because the continents are like a puzzle if you solve it right you get Pangaea
The movement of tectonic plates caused by convection currents in the mantle.
pangaea is the supercontinent that existed millions of years ago, when all the continents were together in one large. supercontinent. Pangaea ultima is the supercontinent that is predicted to form in the next 250 million years. So to be simple, pangaea already happened and pangaea ultima is predicted to happen. :)
Plate Tectonics. Plate Tectonics are the sub-layers that lie underneath the Earth's surface. They can rub against together, smash together, or pull away from each other. This is what caused Pangaea to separate.
Continental Drift caused pangaea to seperate.

Pangea was the original landmass of Earth so it was probably formed when Earth formed.
Pangaea separated due to a shift of the tectonic plates, causing the seven continents to form. Geological activity caused the granite crust to separate at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge causing a continental cataclysm that caused the continents to move away from the Ridge toward the opposing side of each continents respective tectonic plates at incredible speeds, forming the mountain ranges.
The creation of Pangaea was due to plate tectonics which causes continents to grow closer at times, and further apart at others.
No, Pangaea separated into two main supercontinents called Laurasia and Gondwana. These two supercontinents eventually broke apart to form the continents we have today.
About 235 million years ago.
The plate tectonics are the mechanisms that started to drift Pangaea (super continent) into separate continents 200billion years ago into the continents we have today. :D
The plate boundaries underneath started the separate Pangaea into seven different continents as well as seven different plates
Pangaea separated into Laurasia (North America, Europe, and Asia) and Gondwana (South America, Africa, Antarctica, Australia, and the Indian subcontinent) during the Mesozoic Era.
