the evidence is
- fossil evidence - identical fossils in different continent
- rock type and structural similarities - found similar rocks on continents on opposite sides
- study of climate - the heat of the sun
from a book thanks

∙ 11y agoSorry, there is no evidence from glaciers to support the theory of the supercontinent. The last glaciers we have evidence of ended roughly 11,500 years ago, with the end of the Younger Dryas period and the birth of the Holocene. The last great glacial period occurred approximately 650,000 years ago, in the middle of about a dozen glacial periods of the Upper or Late Pleistocene, each separated by about 100,000 years.
Pangea, on the other hand existed about 300 million years ago, beginning to break up and transform into the current continental configuration about 200 million years ago.
So, you see, while there may have been glacial periods during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic periods, evidence of such during the Holocene, the latest subdivision of the Cenozoic (the geologic era in which we live), will be superficial at the extreme best.

What primary sources tell us why the Titanic sink?
the titanic was sunk by an iceberg according to evidence
Are there any rock glaciers in the US?
yes in texes
Where are most glaciers located?
Most glaciers are located in Alaska, Greenland, and Antarctica. However, glaciers can be found on every contintnent. For glacier locations in the US, there are glaciers obviously in Glacier National Park (Montana), and Denali National Park (Alaska).
Was a Pangea possible according to the Bible?
Perhaps. But for those of us who believe that the Earth is young, the question likely becomes moot.
How do you do your science project on Pangea?
None of us can tell you how to do your project, you have to do it yourself. All we can help with is the research and information gathering. So feel free to ask some more questions and continue to search the Internet, but you must do your project according to how your teacher wants it done.
Is there any evidence that global warming is responsible for melting the worlds glaciers?
It's logical. If the earth is warming, and scientists (and our own experiences) tell us that it is, then one of the effects of a warming atmosphere is that it warms things in the atmosphere. Glaciers are exposed to the air, the air is warmer, and so the glaciers melt. Therefore, global warming is responsible for melting the world's glaciers.
How can mountains tell us what glaciers existed at the beginning of time?
At the beginning of time there were no mountains or glaciers, there were also no planets or stars. Mountains can tell us where glaciers existed by the shape of the valleys between them, a "U" shaped valley usually means a glacier once flowed down it.
Why is there more evidence of past erosion by glaciers in Canada than in the southern US?
cause there is and in southern US it's a little worm so glaciers couldn't really last last there as long in more up north.
What do glaciers give us to drink?
glaciers are just lots of ice. when this ice melts it turns into H2O (water). so glaciers give us water to drink.
What does the evidence of the size of horse teeth tell us?
It shows us it's age. The larger the teeth are, the older the horse is.
What mountain has the most glaciers in the contiguous US?
Mount Ranier in Washington State has the most Glaciers in the Contiguos USA with a total of 26 Major Glaciers.
Who does Cormac McLaggan marry?
There Is no evidence from the book to tell us, but it may have been Cho Chang.
What primary sources tell us why the Titanic sink?

How lakes in US and Canada were formed?
glaciers
Are there any rock glaciers in the US?
yes in texes
What part of the world are the glaciers melting in?
From what I've read recently, Glacier melt activity is happening all over/around the Earth; the Arctic Glaciers are receeding, the Antarctic Glaciers are receeding, the Glaciers in Glacier National Park in the US are almost gone, and the Glaciers in the Alps are receeding.
How have glaciers affected the northern portions of the US?
cold water
