All the land masses joined together at the end of Paleozoic Era into a super continent named Pangaea.
All the continental plates came together to form the single landmass Pangaea.

What happen to all of the continental plates near the end of the Paleozoic Era?
At the end of the Paleozoic Era all the plates combined together to form a supercontinent called Pangea.
The second era in geological time?
Warm, shallow seas covered most of Earth's surface near the end of the Paleozoic Era.
What are Continental margins near the edges of converging plates?
In the main along the mid oceanic ridges and along oceanic trenches.
What happens when two continental plates move apart?
A rift valley form and around that rift valley a volcano could form also.
What can be produced at an oceanic-continental convergence?
Ocean-continental convergent boundaries can produce earthquakes and volcanic activity. As the ocean plates shift under each other they near their melting temperature and can form magma and solidify to form underwater mountain ranges.
What happen to all of the continental plates near the end of the Paleozoic Era?
At the end of the Paleozoic Era all the plates combined together to form a supercontinent called Pangea.
Is Australia near any continental plates?
Australia is a continent. It is located on the Indo-Australian continental plate.
What are tectonicsplates?
Tectonic plates.Tectonic plates are plates underneath Earth's surface that move very slowly. There are oceanic and continental plates. Of course, oceanic plates are plates under the ocean, and continental plates are plates underneath ground, or continents. Each of the plates carry the things above them, land or ocean. When two continental or oceanic plates collide, it causes a fold in Earth's surface, and an earthquake. Now, when a continental plate draws near and nearly collides with an oceanic plate, something called subduction occurs. Subduction is basically when the oceanic plate dips down below the continental plate, causing a trench.
What are the different mountain ranges and their formation?
Himalayas: Continental-continental North American Cordillera: Terrane accretion Aleutian: Oceanic-oceanic Andes: Near an active continental margin _______________________________ Himalayas: Two continents colliding Grand Tetons: Plates spreading Aleutian: Two ocean plates colliding. Andes: Near a subduction zone
The second era in geological time?
Warm, shallow seas covered most of Earth's surface near the end of the Paleozoic Era.
An earthquake is a shaking caused by the sudden movement of the earth's crust.?
Earthquakes occur both along plate edges and along faults. Most earthquakes will occur near the edge of the oceanic and continental plates.
What are Continental margins near the edges of converging plates?
In the main along the mid oceanic ridges and along oceanic trenches.
Crust is destroyed near?
Crust is destroyed at the convergent plate boundaries in Earth. In between the oceanic and continental plates, the subduction of the denser oceanic crust takes place.
Details about the permian period?
In the permian period,The slow gradual collision of continental plates caused mountain building. Near the end of the Permian Period, all continental plates came together to form the single landmass PANGEA. Mass extinctions of many land and sea animals ocurred to signal the end of the Paleazoid Era.
What happens when two continental plates move apart?
A rift valley form and around that rift valley a volcano could form also.
What are two ways volcanoes can forms near converging plate boundaries?
Volcanoes may form where two oceanic plates collide or where an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate.
What are two Ways volcanoes Form near converging plate boundaries?
Volcanoes may form where two oceanic plates collide or where an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate.
