Did the gravitational pull of the moon break Pangaea into pieces?
No. That was an early hypothesis proposed by Alfred Wegener, but such a thing is not actually possible. Pangaea was broken apart by a process called rifting, which is driven by processes within Earth.
What major event in Earth's history began about 225 million years ago?
the major event that in earth's history began about 225 million years ago was that pangaea began to break apart
What was the name of the supercontinent meaning all the earth?
Pangaea is the supercontinent that once formed from all the continents.
What is the name of the Undivided Continent in the Prehistoric Stage of Earth?
Pangaea
What is pangaea and what caused pangaea to separate?
Pangea was a huge landmass made of all the continents today. Tectonic plates in the Earth moved, causing it to split apart.
How does Pangaea affect us?
Pangea is one great landmass. It is not Pangaea that affects us. The term you are probably thinking of is continental drift, which is the moving of the Earth's tectonic plates. Scientists believe that as time moves on the countries are going to drift farther apart. Also, as they drift farther apart, they are technically moving closer together, and once again will form Pangaea. Hope that answers your question.
Why does the earth not look like Pangaea now?
This is a result of continental drift, which moved the continents apart.
What does the pangaea mean?
The word Pangaea means entire Earth. Pangaea is the name for the supercontinent that existed about 200 million years ago. The continents broke apart and drifted into the current positions we know today.
How did Earth's land change during the Jurassic period?
Seas opened between the continents, splitting apart Pangaea
When were all the continents one large land mass?
Prior to the seven continents of earth breaking apart, they looked like complete jigsaw puzzle. The puzzle was called Pangaea and occurred over two hundred million years ago.
What is pangaea from again?
Pangaea is from the Earth. It was always there
How do plate tectonics systems approach to the study of Earth?
well Pangaea was next to it until it broke apart from Continental drifting
How did the Pangaea become together?
Well, there is a theory of plate tectonics, which is the movement of plates on the lithosphere, which is the surface of the earth. The Pangaea was actually the first land form before it split apart by convection currents,(as far as we know) and other forces that would move the plates. So Pangaea got together by the same way it spread apart.

pangea?
a single landmass or supercontinent
How did Pangaea affect evolution?
Evolution was not the cause of the breakup of Pangaea. Pangaea broke up by a process called rifting. Upwelling in Earth's mantle started to pull the conteinent apart. As the curst thinned, it led to the formation of volcanoes, which generated new crust, helping to push the continent apart. Evolution is the process by which groups of organisms change over time. While the breakup of Pangaea undoubtedly affected the course of evolution, evolution had nothing to do with causing the breakup.
Where did pangaea come from?
Pangaea was like that when the earth was created by the BIG BANG
