It is known as Plate Tectonics.
A supercontinent is a vast landmass composed of multiple continents joined together. Throughout Earth's history, supercontinents have formed and broken apart due to the movement of tectonic plates. An example of a supercontinent is Pangaea.
Pangaea
Pangaea was the original super-continent which broke up into Gondwanaland and Laurasia.
Pangaea was the original super-continent which broke up into Gondwanaland and Laurasia.
The supercontinent that contained all of Earth's current continents was called Pangaea. It existed during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras before breaking apart into the continents we know today due to the process of plate tectonics.
Pangaea or Pangea was the super-continent in the continental drift hypothesis.
Pangaea don't no
No, the supercontinent that began to break apart about 225 million years ago was called Pangaea. Antarctica was part of Pangaea before the continents drifted into their current positions.
The first super continent scientists know about is Rodinia, which formed and broke up about 1,1 billion to 750 million years ago. Then came Pannotia, which formed and broke up around 600 million to 540 million years ago. The last was Pangaea, which formed and broke up 250 million to 200 million years ago.This is believed to have happened several times in the Earth's history.
The theory is that there was a super continent called Pangea, meaning 'all lands'. It existed as one large continent but later broke up into several smaller continents which drifted away from wach other, each beuibg a part of a mobile plate of the lithosphere
Pangaea was the original super-continent which broke up into Gondwanaland and Laurasia. Gondwanaland consisted of present day Africa, Antarctica, Australia, India and South America.
