pangaea is all the continets together and an earthquake separated them a long time ago.


How would continental drift explain a rock sequence being found on both South America and Africa?

The Pangaea theory says that long ago, all of the continents were one. Now, they clearly are not. However, archaeologists and scientists of the like are finding that certain places in continents that are oceans apart have similar rock patterns, and, if you look close enough, each continent fits into each other. So essentially, similar rock patterns on different continents is likely a result of continental drift because according to "Pangaea", all of the continents used to be one.


How long go did Pangaea begin?

We do not know the exact answer, but scienctists approximate the late Carboniferous period; about 300 million years ago.


A short paragraph about continental drift?

First of all continental drift happened after Pangea. Pangea was a time when all of the continents were formed together. Then platetectonics moved which caused earth quakes. The earth quakes made the continents drift, and is called continental drift. To learn more on continental drifts and plate tectonics visit http;//www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0001765.html

What is continental drift theory by Alfred?

Alfred Wegner's theory of continental drift stated that the continents were all once together but over time have drifted apart.


Were the dinosaurs before Pangaea?

Yes, When Pangaea broke apart, depending on how it broke apart, was immediately effected by great quakes, volcanoes, etc. But who knows for sure? The long stood effects were that the continents were broke apart, dividing the populations of dinosaurs apart allowed them to mutate or adapt (depending on different beliefs) separately, thur producing modified species. Also the climates of each broke apart section would have changed from what its original climate was.


What does Pangaea have to do with plate tectonics?

Pangaea is the name of the super continent that existed about 250 million years ago, before they separated to form the continents we know today. It has to do with plate tectonics because the theory of continental drift (proposed by Alfred Wegener) says that the plates are moving because of sea-floor spreading
