They could in a model. However, they could not actually reconstruct the earth or another planet to look like Pangea. A cool experiment to do to demonstrate how the continents broke apart due to plate techtonics, make a hard-boiled egg, and draw a circle on the shell. Cut the shell (not the egg) into the circle, but do not remove the circle. Place your thumb on the circle, and move it around on the shell. This will show you how the land broke apart into smaller chunks and islands. you can also eat the egg afterwards! :)

To reconstruct Pangaea, one would need to analyze the geological evidence from different continents, including the distribution of similar rock formations, fossils, and mountain ranges. This information can be used to determine the positions of the continents's past locations and how they fit together like a puzzle. Advanced computer modeling and plate tectonics theory can also aid in reconstructing Pangaea's formation and breaking apart over millions of years.

What did archaeologists say about Pangaea?

Archaeologists believe that Pangaea was a supercontinent that existed about 335 million years ago and eventually broke apart to form the continents we have today. Through the study of fossils, rock formations, and tectonic plate movements, they have been able to reconstruct the process of continental drift that led to the breakup of Pangaea.

Did Pangaea ever really exist?

Nobody really knows if Pangaea really existed. People believe it did because if you shift the continents, it looks like it could make Pangaea. There are many other reasons, but that is the most common.

How did the break up of pangaea affect land organisms during the mesozoic era?

When Pangaea broke up, species had to adapt to changing environments. Those species that could adapt, changed along with their habitats. Those that could not adapt died off.
