What two pieces of evidence support the theory that a super continent formed long before Pangaea?

One piece of evidence is the fit of the continents' coastlines, particularly between South America and Africa. Another piece of evidence is the distribution of similar fossil species across continents that are now separated by oceans.


What year did the continents separate?

Was the earth one big piece?

It has always been one piece. If you are refering to the continents being one piece, then yes they were. The super continent was known as Pangaea which was a combination of each continent. Through continental drift, the continents were split into what they are now. In the future, the continents will change once again as continental drift continues as we speak.

How were the fossil symbols and mountain belts helpful in deciding where to move the continents?

Fossil symbols were used to correlate similar ancient life forms found on distant continents, providing evidence of past connections. Mountain belts were important because they showed where continental crusts had collided and formed mountain ranges, indicating potential past plate boundaries and movement of continents. By studying these features, scientists were able to piece together the theory of plate tectonics and use it to determine the movement of continents over time.
