On April 1st 2008 Google revealed a one-day April Fool's Joke in Google Earth.
If you turned on the "Geographic Web" layer and zoomed all the way out then the Earth's continents merge into the Pangea supercontinent map as it may have appeared millions of years ago.
You can see a video of this April's fool joke in the related links.
Sadly Google disabled this "special" feature and you can't simply change the time in Google Earth to see the Pangeasupercontinent.
What else can I help you with?
How many continents did earth have at the time of Pangaea?
Actually according to my scientific calculations Pangaea means all Earth toghether.So 1 because at the time it was Pangaea all the land masses were together.
What sea surrounded Pangaea?
The Panthalassa Ocean surrounded Pangaea. It was the superocean that existed during the time of the supercontinent Pangaea, covering much of the Earth's surface.
Were there people living on earth when pangaea was around?
No people were not around when Pangaea was. The time of Pangaea was before the time of the dinosaurs (they came in the Jurasic era) and we are supposed to have evoled from some types of dinosuars.
What is a pangaea plate?
Pangaea was a supercontinent that existed about 300 million years ago, when all the Earth's continents were joined together as a single landmass. The plates that make up the Earth's crust shifted over time, breaking apart Pangaea into the continents we know today.
What was the configuration of oceans during the time of the supercontinent Pangaea?
During the time of the supercontinent Pangaea, the ocean known as Panthalassa surrounded Pangaea. Panthalassa was a vast ocean that covered most of the Earth's surface. As Pangaea broke apart, this single ocean eventually split into the modern oceans we have today.
What did Earth's original land mass look like?
Earth's original land mass, called Pangaea, was a supercontinent that existed about 335 million years ago. Pangaea comprised almost all of Earth's landmasses, connected in one large landmass. Over time, Pangaea broke apart due to the movement of tectonic plates, eventually leading to the continents we have today.
What is the name of the continent in the triassic period?
The name of the continent during the Triassic period was Pangaea. It was a supercontinent that included almost all of Earth's landmasses. Over time, Pangaea eventually broke apart to form the continents we know today.
How do pangaea works?
Pangaea was a supercontinent that existed about 300 million years ago, where all the Earth's landmasses were joined together. Over time, plate tectonics caused Pangaea to break apart and drift to form the continents we know today. This movement is still ongoing, with the continents slowly shifting positions on the Earth's surface.
Why is Pangaea formed?
Pangaea formed through the process of plate tectonics, where Earth’s lithospheric plates moved together to create a supercontinent. This movement was driven by the convection currents in the mantle beneath the Earth’s crust. Over time, Pangaea eventually broke apart into the continents we see today due to the continued movement of the tectonic plates.
Was there more land than water when the dinosaurs roamed the earth?
Yes, during the time of the dinosaurs, there was more land than water on Earth. The supercontinent Pangaea existed during the Mesozoic era, which was the time when dinosaurs lived. As Pangaea broke apart, it eventually led to the formation of the continents we have today.
Was earth ever one land mass?
Yes, the Earth's land masses were once connected in a supercontinent called Pangaea around 300 million years ago. Over time, tectonic plate movements led to the breakup of Pangaea into the continents we have today.
What was the earth called a long time ago when the plates were together?
The ancient supercontinent that existed when Earth's plates were together is called Pangaea. This supercontinent is believed to have formed about 300 million years ago and began to break apart around 175 million years ago.
