The climate of North America must have been much warmer and more humid than it is in the present day. This is because when North America was a part of Pangaea, it was much closer to the equator (see figure 17.5 on page 471). Since the equator receives the highest concentration of the sun's energy and heat, the climate is warmer. So when the super-continent split apart, North America drifted towards the north end of the planet to reach the position it is at today, giving it the present cool climate. The climate of ancient North America must have been close to the current climate of South Asia (places such as India), and Central Africa.

Plate tectonics and Pangaea you get evidence from ancient climate zones, land features, and fossils
What was the climate of ancient Egypt?
The climate of Ancient Egypt is hot desert climate.
How could you explain why glacial deposits are found in areas where no glaciers exist today?
Pangea was a super continent and that was a time when all of the continents were joined together. when Pangaea broke apart, they moved to different locations which are different climate zones so glaciers no longer existed in places where the climate changed from cold to hot.
What is the location of landforms in Silurian times?

What are the three things Alfred Wegener used to prove his theory about pangaea?
Fossils, Climate, and Sea-Floor Spreading
Is the following sentence true or false the formation of pangaea caused the climate on earth to change?
True. The formation of Pangaea, a supercontinent that existed around 300 million years ago, caused significant climate changes on Earth. The shifting of landmasses and changes in ocean currents resulted in altered patterns of rainfall and temperature distribution, affecting global climate patterns.
