The continents are virtually unchanged from 250 years ago to present. They haven't even moved a full meter!
The continents separated from Pangea about 200 million years ago. The continents were in there present state (with different shorelines) 50 million years ago.
Pangaea, or Pangea
that means we would have the Pangaea again *Pangaea was the supercontinent that existed during the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras about 250 million years ago, before the component continents were separated into their current configuration.
Plate tectonics. Continents are the exposed (from the oceans) geological areas of tectonic plates. Continents can also be on top of more than one tectonic plate. When these plates move, continents move with them. Millions of years ago, continents were split apart and also created by tectonic plate movement.
200 million years ago, the continents were still situated in one supercontinent: Pangea. A picture of Pangea with the modern continents outlined is included in the link below.
250 million years ago
250 million years ago!
Pangea began to drift apart about 200 million years ago. Pangea split into two smaller continents: Gondwana and Laurasia. These continents lasted from about 200 million years ago to 100 million years ago.
no they are not. contenents move slowly but surely. so now they probrably moved 20 inches from a million years ago
Rodinia
Pangaea, which was the supercontinent made out of all of today's continents joined together. It existed 250 millions years ago.
The continents separated from Pangea about 200 million years ago. The continents were in there present state (with different shorelines) 50 million years ago.
Pangaea, or Pangea
Pangaea is the supercontinent that existed around 200 to 250 million years ago.
About 300 million years ago.
