some things might be that they are made of the same continents but they just have different names.

Is continental drift and Pangaea the same thing that happend in or on the continents?
yes and no, the continental drift is Wegener's idea that the continents slowly moved apart. Pangea is the name of all the continents. Pangaea means "all lands"
How do science know pangaea is real?
scientists proof of pangaea is there were fosils of the same animals or dinosaurs in all 7 continents
What are Pangaea maps?
What is the pangaea theory? The Pangaea theory is one that states that all present continents were once together and collectively known as a 'supercontinent' called a Pangaea. i think they are not same question,.
What proof do scientists now have to prove the theory of Pangaea?
-look at plate boundaries -the creation of new sea floor at mid-ocean ridges -alternating bands of magnetic rock on the sea floor -simple fact that the continents all fit into each other The fact that rocks formations formed during Pangaea, match on the shores of continents that were connected to each other during the time of Pangaea, same goes for fossils
Compared to total land area of all continents today total land area of Pangaea was about?
The total land area of Pangaea was roughly 30% larger than the total land area of all continents today. Pangaea was a supercontinent that existed during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras, before breaking apart into separate landmasses due to tectonic plate movements.
How things may be different had Pangaea never happened?
Things might not look exactly the same, but there'd probably still be continents, they just might not have looked alike, but then again, that's dependent upon the tectonic plates.
How were the green mountains in vermont formed?
Same as the rest of the Appalachians, When the continents that slammed together to form Pangaea, they were raised.
Describe evidence that supports the existence of pangaea?
the continents fit the locations on the mountain ranges the congruent types of rocks and the same fossil exists on different continents. Hope this helped. :)
What showed proof for Alfred Wegener on Pangaea?
We know Pangaea existed because of fossil evidence. There were fossils of the same animal found on Africa and South America. This animal couldn't have possibly swam across the ocean. Therefore, making the idea of Pangaea plausible.
What was Wegener's evidence that Pangaea once existed?
1. There were fossils found on different sides of continents, that were the same. 2. If you put all the continents together they fit like puzzle pices in a puzzle. Hope I helped!
What happened to living things when Pangaea broke?
Some organisms of the same species were split up by the division, which is why some fossils are similar looking, yet are across an ocean from each other.
Why are Pangaea and plate tectonics related?
Plate tectonics is the theory of continental drift. As Pangaea is what scientists and geologistsbase continental drift on (as it was the original cluster formation of all continents), they are very closely related and usually are within the same field of study.
