What is a supercontinent that continued to separate?
pangaea
When did Pangaea start to separate?
About 235 million years ago.
What happen to the pangaea?
The plate boundaries underneath started the separate Pangaea into seven different continents as well as seven different plates
What caused pangaea to separate?
Plate Tectonics. Plate Tectonics are the sub-layers that lie underneath the Earth's surface. They can rub against together, smash together, or pull away from each other. This is what caused Pangaea to separate.
Why I mean besides the main continent Pangaea were there any island like hawaii Easter Island etc Were there any islands during Pangaea?
During the time of Pangaea, most landmasses were concentrated together as a supercontinent, so there weren't many individual islands like Hawaii or Easter Island. Most of the Earth's surface was part of Pangaea, with few separate islands. It was only after the breakup of Pangaea that the continents shifted to create separate islands as we see them today.
How do fossils support the theory of pangaea?
Similar species of fossil can be found on separate, but adjacent, continents
When did the earth have Pangaea?
Pangaea was when the earth's entire land mass was one mass - no "separate" countries. That last occurred about 250 million years ago (it is believed to have happened several times over earth's history). From Pangaea, the landmass separated gradually into the various continents we have today.
Did pangaea separate into four continents?
No, Pangaea separated into two main supercontinents called Laurasia and Gondwana. These two supercontinents eventually broke apart to form the continents we have today.
What are the two continents that pangaea separate into?
Pangaea separated into Laurasia (North America, Europe, and Asia) and Gondwana (South America, Africa, Antarctica, Australia, and the Indian subcontinent) during the Mesozoic Era.
Did the tectonic plates separate Pangaea?
The plate tectonics are the mechanisms that started to drift Pangaea (super continent) into separate continents 200billion years ago into the continents we have today. :D
When did the Pangaea split into two landmasses?
Pangaea began to break apart around 175 million years ago during the Jurassic period. This breakup eventually led to the formation of two separate landmasses known as Laurasia (in the north) and Gondwana (in the south).
What is a pangaea plate?
A Pangaea plate is a Pangaea plate
