When Pangaea broke apart, the tectonic plates underneath the Earth's surface shifted, causing the supercontinent to split up into the continents we have today. This movement of the plates created new oceans and changed the arrangement of landmasses on Earth.
The two continents that formed when Pangaea broke apart are Laurasia in the north and Gondwana in the south. These two supercontinents eventually broke up further to form the continents we have today.
No, Pangaea separated into two main supercontinents called Laurasia and Gondwana. These two supercontinents eventually broke apart to form the continents we have today.
The two continents that formed after Pangaea split were Laurasia in the north and Gondwana in the south. These two supercontinents eventually broke apart further to form the continents we have today.
The two continents that formed after Pangaea separated are Laurasia in the north and Gondwana in the south. These two supercontinents eventually broke apart to form the continents we are familiar with today.
Before the continents broke apart, they were part of a single supercontinent called Pangaea. It is believed that Pangaea existed around 300 million years ago during the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras.
When Pangaea broke apart we got continents which what we have today.
The two continents that formed when Pangaea broke apart are Laurasia in the north and Gondwana in the south. These two supercontinents eventually broke up further to form the continents we have today.
The single mass which eventually broke into the continents is referred to as Pangaea.
Actually, Pangaea was all the continents smashed together. But, the two continents that broke apart after Pangaea was created were named "Gondwanaland" and "Laurasia".
all of the continents broke apart
Pangaea broke into Gondwanaland and Laurasia.
No, Pangaea separated into two main supercontinents called Laurasia and Gondwana. These two supercontinents eventually broke apart to form the continents we have today.
On Pangaea, present-day Africa was connected to North and South America, with Europe and Asia adjacent to the north. Australia was near Antarctica and India was near Africa. Over time, the movement of tectonic plates caused these landmasses to break apart and drift to their current positions.
The breakup of Pangaea into the seven continents was primarily driven by the movement of Earth's tectonic plates. Over millions of years, the plates shifted, causing Pangaea to split apart and create the continents as we know them today. This process, known as continental drift, continues to shape the Earth's geology and landforms.
I think you are referring to Pangaea. Pangaea was the gigantic single continent that broke into the continents we have today. See the Related Link below for the Wikipedia entry.
Pangaea separated into Laurasia (North America, Europe, and Asia) and Gondwana (South America, Africa, Antarctica, Australia, and the Indian subcontinent) during the Mesozoic Era.
