How does the continents moved from being part of pangaea to their current locations?
Continental drift explains how the continents have moved in the past and how they will move in the future; continents are constantly moving, although, obviously at slow rates.
What was pangaea 135 million years later?
in 135 million years from now laurasia will still be moving as it broke into the continents
Do the continents move or stay still?
Continents are moving slightly almost all the time (from the plates moving) they do stay still at some points (how do you think continents formed from the supercontinent pangaea? They moved from multiple different events such as ocean currents and plates moving)
What was the process called when the continents where separated from the process called Pangaea?
continental drift. they are still moving today, but only at about 2.5 cm a year.
What is laurasia?
Laurasia is like Pangaea where all of the continents were put together before. This is a theory that all of the continents were once together and that there is plate tectonics. This is not evidence of plate tectonics because no one was around to see it happening. It is just a theory! But it seems very clear that it is true because the continents are moving and the continents look like a huge puzzle. For example, the west side of Africa and the east side of South America look like they fit together! If the continents are moving away from each other they must have once been together.
Will there be a Pangaea two?
Pangaea was caused by the moving of the continents and slowly the continents are moving right now so, probably... just think about it...

How did Pangaea form?
Five hundred million years ago, Pangaea was put together. During the centuries, Pangaea was connected numerous changes above and below the land. Soon after Pangaea, the plates under it touched then started moving away the other plates. Pangaea was a landmass that included all of the present day continents and was on this Earth for many, many millenniums.
How do human geographers use history?
There could be several answers to this question, however I believe the most popular one would be Pangaea. Pangaea was the continents, when they were all places together. Geographers now-a-days could use this history to tell us that our continents have been moving over a course of millions of years.
What is the theory on tectonic plates?
There once was this thing named Pangaea and it split apart and keeps moving every year forming the continents that we know today. Hope it helped.
Speed and direction of a moving body average velocity can be calculated by dividing displacement by time?
If I understand the question correctly.......... Average speed can be calculated by dividing displacement by time (scalar) but once you refer to direction and "velocity" you are into a different paradigm (vector) and it is not as simple as dividing displacement by time
Is Pangaea still moving?
yes
Are the continents moving?
The continents are moving when they spread apart
Which way do the continents push?
Continents are generally being moved in a direction perpendicular to their position on a side of a mid-ocean rift. For instance, if they're located west of the line of the rift that runs in a north-south direction, the continent will be moving westward.
