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

∙ 15y agoPangea existed a very long time ago. That was when all of the Earth's tectonic plates were arranged in a certain way so that all of Earth's land was together. But the plates slowly moved apart and become what it is today. In a very long time from now, it is said that the earth will come together exactly or very similar to the way Pangea was.

What forms of science were used to help gather evidence for the existence of Pangaea?
Plate tectonics led to the theory of Pangaea.
What caused Pangaea or Pangaea?
The creation of Pangaea was due to plate tectonics which causes continents to grow closer at times, and further apart at others.
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.
What are the opposing views to the Pangaea theory?
There are no commonly accepted opposing scientific views on plate tectonics or the existence of the supercontinent Pangaea.
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.
Why did Pangaea become 7 contents?
Plate Tectonics broke Pangaea apart.
What is proof of theory of plate tectonics developed?
because of pangaea

Is pangaea a German word for plate techtonics?
No, Pangaea was a supercontinent that existed about 250 million years ago.The German word for plate tectonics is (die) Plattentektonik.

Another word in plate tectonics that mean all land?
Pangaea is Greek for "all land."
Explain how the theory of plate tectonics relates to the formation and breakup of Pangaea?
idont even know
What is the theory of Pangea?
The theory of Pangaea was that the continents were once together and then were drifted apart due to plate tectonics.
