The plate tectonics are the mechanisms that started to drift Pangaea (super continent) into separate continents 200billion years ago into the continents we have today. :D
Yes it was actually. Cause there was a time that Pangaea split. Which is called Continental drift.
Continents were formed,and species died,from the movement and the continents moved ,and started to heat in different places to make the species die.
No, its the other way around. Plate tectonics caused Pangaea to break up.
theory of continental drift. check it out
Pangea was a huge landmass made of all the continents today. Tectonic plates in the Earth moved, causing it to split apart.
The movement of tectonic plates caused by convection currents in the mantle.
By tectonic plates spreading across from which was first known as Pangaea is now spreading more and more out which forms more tectonic islands!

They are called tectonic or lithospheric plates.
Pangea was a huge landmass made of all the continents today. Tectonic plates in the Earth moved, causing it to split apart.
Pangaea separated due to a shift of the tectonic plates, causing the seven continents to form. Geological activity caused the granite crust to separate at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge causing a continental cataclysm that caused the continents to move away from the Ridge toward the opposing side of each continents respective tectonic plates at incredible speeds, forming the mountain ranges.
Pangaea broke apart because of the movement of tectonic plates, which causes earthquakes and volcanoes.
Due to the movement of tectonic plates.

a divergent boundary
When the tectonic plates separate.
causes of earthquake
The shape of the continents and how they fit together like puzzle pieces, the tectonic plates.
