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,.
Is continental drift and Pangaea the same thing that happend in or on the continents?
Continental drift is the movement of the Earth's continents over time, while Pangaea was the supercontinent that existed about 335 million years ago before breaking apart into the continents we see today. So, they are related but not the same thing. Continental drift refers to the ongoing movement of continents, while Pangaea is a specific event in Earth's history.
What are the existence of pangaea?
Pangaea was a supercontinent that existed about 335 million years ago and began to break apart around 175 million years ago, eventually forming the continents we recognize today. Evidence for Pangaea's existence includes the fit of the coastlines of continents, similar rock formations and mountain ranges across continents, and the distribution of fossils of the same species on different continents.
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.
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
Describe evidence that supports the existence of pangaea?
The evidence supporting the existence of Pangaea includes the matching shapes of continents like South America and Africa, similar rock formations and mountain ranges on different continents, and fossils of the same species found on continents that are now far apart. Additionally, the distribution of certain plant and animal species across different continents suggests that they were once connected.
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 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.
What is the evidence that pangaea once existed?
Evidence for Pangaea's existence includes the matching shapes of continents along their coastlines, similarities in rock formations, fossils of the same species found on different continents, and the alignment of mountain ranges and geological features when continents are pieced back together. Additionally, the distribution of certain plant and animal species suggests that they were once connected on a single landmass.
How things may be different had Pangaea never happened?
If Pangaea had never happened, Earth's landmasses would have continued to drift apart due to plate tectonics. This would have likely resulted in different continents and ocean configurations. The distribution of species, geological processes, and climate patterns would have been vastly different compared to what we see today.
How do fossils support the evidence of pangaea?
Pangaea implies at some part in the Earth's evolution, probably before the rise of mammals and intelligent life ( Man) there was one major world continent that since has split up into the present seven. As life of intelligent type did not exist at the time, there is no way fossils can be dragged in to prove things one way or the other, though it does have a relative bearing on Atlantis and Atlantean studies.
