What are the stages of the breakup of pangaea?
The Continental drift
During which geologic era did Pangaea break up?
Pangaea was present during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras. Its formation is dated to about 300 million years ago and its breakup began about 100 million years ago. The break-up of Pangaea is thought to have occurred in three phases, with the first beginning in the Early-Middle Jurassic Age. The second phase began in the Early Cretaceous Period and the third during the Early Cenozoic Period.
Did Pangaea happen?
Pangea is known scientifically to have occurred.
Explain how the theory of plate tectonics relates to the formation and breakup of Pangaea?
idont even know
The breakup of pangaea is a process that is continuing today?
The breakup of the Pangea is a process that is continuing today. The Atlantic ocean is broadening, and the Pacific is shrinking at the rate of approximately an inch a year.
Did the breakup of Pangaea begin during the Cenozoic era?
age of reptiles
What continent was on the south pole during Pangaea?
None, Antarctica has only drifted there in the last 200 million years, following the breakup of Pangaea.
Did the breakup of Pangaea resulted in warm wet global climates?
False, the breakup of Pangaea did not result in warm, wet global climates.
How was the Pacific Ocean created?
The Pacific Ocean developed from the Panthalassa, (the vast global ocean that surrounded Pangaea), following the breakup of Pangaea. There is no firm date for when the changeover occurred, as the replacement of the sea bed is a continuous process.

How did pangaea breakup?
pangaea cause of breaking up was a rift that developed between eastern U.S. and Western Africa
