Where on earth is Pangaea located during the paleozoic era?
the super continent of gondwana to the south,the continent of siberia to the north ,and early formation of the small continene of euramerica in between
Coldest place on the planet?
The coldest place on Earth has been identified to be on the East Antarctic Plateau. There super-chilled layers of air cause temperatures to fall to -133 degrees Fahrenheit.
What do scientists call the super continent and the ocean that existed 250 million uears ago?
The super continent was called Pangaea.
What was the super-continent in the continental drift hypothesis called?
Pangaea or Pangea was the super-continent in the continental drift hypothesis.
Why doesn't Antarctica float away?
beneath each Island or Country lands consists of plates called tectonic plates and these plates move very slowly. this theory or law has supported panggea right. If you do not know panggea or the super continent read articles about it.
What name was given to the super continent from which Australia and antarctica were part of?
,zlcmlzx,m;
Is the super continent that began to break apart about 225 million years ago called Antarctica?
No, the supercontinent that began to break apart about 225 million years ago was called Pangaea. Antarctica was part of Pangaea before the continents drifted into their current positions.
Is it true that the supercontinent that began to break apart about 225 million years ago is called antarctica?
No, Antarctica exits today and is the continent and covers the south pole. Pangaea is the super-continent that broke apart around the time you mentioned.
What 3 continents were part of Gondwana?
The three continents that were part of Gondwana are Africa, South America, and Antarctica.
What continent did South America break away from?
Pangaea was the original super-continent which broke up into Gondwanaland and Laurasia. Gondwanaland consisted of present day Africa, Antarctica, Australia, India and South America.
Is Antarctica the name of the super continent that began to break apart 225 million years ago?
The name of the super continent was Gondwanna (sometimes as Gondwana). When it broke up, Australia and the other southern continents split from each other. And the Indian sub-continent headed off in a roughly northern direction to collide with Asia and create the Himalayas, which are still growing. At an earlier time, the Northern super continent and the Southern one were believed to be one super continent, Pangaea. The northern collection of continents and major islands was Laurasia, and the Southern one Gondwanna.
What continent is known as the super continent?
The super continent was all the seven continents joined to Australia. This continent was larger than Asia .The continental drift has changed this super continent and now many think that Asia is the super continent but Gondwana will always be The Supercontinent. I am 12,not 32 ,12!
How long did Antarctica exist?
Antarctica used to be part of the super-continent Gondwana. Less than 200 million years ago (Mya), it split off from Australia. In the Cambrian era, some of Antarctica used to be in the northern hemisphere, and with a mild climate, had ferns, trees, and lots of coal forming swamps. In short, the Antarctic Craton has existed for at least the last 600 Mya. The Pangaea super-continent split into Laurasia and Gondwanaland, but there were probably several earlier super-continent assemblies that broke up and re-assembled. Naturally, from this historic record, tectonic processes have destroyed or mixed up much of the early records, but science is working away on this intriguing problem.

How can you describe Pangaea?
Pangaea was a continent in the early age, when the dinosaurs were alive. Pangaea was one super continent consisting of the five continents around the Earth today, which are Antarctica, South America, North America, Australia, Europe, Asia, and Africa.
What continent was not part of gondwana?
It should be 'continents' - in plural. 3 continents were not part of Gondwana super-continent. They were North America, Europe and Asia - which formed the other super-continent Laurasia. The other 4 continents formed the Gondwana. They were South America, Africa, Australia and Antarctica. The Indian sub-continent was part of Gondwana, then separated from it, traveled north and jammed with Asia. The collision of India and Asia created the Himalayas.
