Not all parts of Pangaea have split up. Pangaea is merely the most recent of several 'build and scatter'processes that have occurred in our Earth's history. Some of the parts of this assembly are known as cratons, and have survived several generations of 'build and scatter'. A search in your on-line encyclopedia under 'super continent' should turn up the names and dates of some earlier ones.

How did the Pangaea become together?

Well, there is a theory of plate tectonics, which is the movement of plates on the lithosphere, which is the surface of the earth. The Pangaea was actually the first land form before it split apart by convection currents,(as far as we know) and other forces that would move the plates. So Pangaea got together by the same way it spread apart.


What evidence that supports the existence of pangaea?

There definitively was a Pangaea. Pangaea implies one continent. Back when the earth was forming, there was no oceans, thus the whole earth would be referred to as Pangaea. Today continents would refer to how much land is above the ocean.


Why did scientist reject theory of pangaea?

The idea was only rejected initially (along with continental drift, where it originated), because there was no explanation as to why/how the continents would have split up and drifted apart from the super continent Pangaea. This was of course before it was discovered that continents "float" on magma that spreads out in opposite directions at fissures in the earth's mantle.


Why did ancient people probably first come to the Americas?

The world had been one continent, Pangaea, but then split apart with the movement of the continental plates. It is likely that the ancient people would not have had much water to cross (though Pangaea had split before then) and could have swam/made boats out of reeds, something which there is evidence to suggest.

How big was Pangaea?

Pangaea was a supercontinent that existed about 300 million years ago and was made up of all the Earth's landmasses as one large landmass. It is estimated to have been about 30% larger than the current supercontinent, Eurasia.
