Explain what the climate in ancient North America must have been like as a part of Pangaea?
The climate of North America must have been much warmer and more humid than it is in the present day. This is because when North America was a part of Pangaea, it was much closer to the equator (see figure 17.5 on page 471). Since the equator receives the highest concentration of the sun's energy and heat, the climate is warmer. So when the super-continent split apart, North America drifted towards the north end of the planet to reach the position it is at today, giving it the present cool climate. The climate of ancient North America must have been close to the current climate of South Asia (places such as India), and Central Africa.
