What two continents coastlines led to early suggestion that they were joined at one time?
south America and Africa
Which two continents' coastlines led to early suggestions that they may have joined at one time?
Africa and South America
What countries today were at one time joined together by the supercontinent Pangaea?
Pangea was the only, and the first continent that emerged from the ocean that covered the earth for millions of years. Later, this huge piece of land broke into pieces forming the continents today.
Do the continents fit together like the pieces of a puzzle?
yes, they do but in time they move apart from each other
Why isn't the fit perfect if the continents were once part of Pangaea?
Because the continents have distorted a little over time - as plates push together the land masses change. Also the coast has eroded over time.
What geologic time period were all the continents joined together?
Geraghty Period
Where the continents ever together at one point?
Yes all the continents where connected at one time. It was when no one was alive!!! ____________By: Anna300_________________________________________
Evidence for movement and changes in the geosphere over time?
Certain continents seem to line up, as if they were once joined. For example, South America and Africa.
WAS THE WORLD JOINED?
Scientists believe that at one time, the entire land mass of the world was joined together. When looking at a flat map of the earth, the shape of the continents look like they would fit together if they were linked.
What is Pangea and what evidence dose Wagner give for this?
pangea is a super-continent formed a long time ago when all of the seven continents came together. the largest amount of evidence scientists have is that all of the continents fit almost perfectly together, like a puzzle.
What five kinds of evidence support Wegener's observation that south America was at one time joined to Africa?
Well I know 4 Rock evidence mountain belt evidence fossil evidence puzzle piece evidence Hope it helped.......
Was the world joined together?
Scientists believe that at one time, the entire land mass of the world was joined together. When looking at a flat map of the earth, the shape of the continents look like they would fit together if they were linked.
Evidence for continental drift?
The existence in the fossil record of the same land species on several continents. Since these animals are not seafaring then the continents must have been connected at one time. Also continental drift is supported by vast empirical evidence.
How do fossild indicate that the continents have moved with time?
If specific fossils are found in two separated continents, it means that both continents were once joined.
What did the continental drift hypothesis state?
Based on an apparent fit between Africa and South America Wegener hypothesized that at one time all continents were joined together in a "subcontinent" called Pangaea. The super-continent eventually broke into the smaller continental. which then "drifted" towards their present positions. Wegener supported his hypothesis by using circumstantial evidence, similar to the way that a detective would collect. evidence to solve a crime. There are four lines of evidence:
The shapes of which two continents' coastlines led to early suggestions they had been joined at one time?
Two Continents Are Africa And South America .
What do many science believe about the earth continents?
That at one time in the past many many millions of years ago they were all joined together forming just one super continent.
