Is the earthquake that pangaea still going?
That is a total mystery. But I think yes. The land of Pangaea, was split by a massive earthquake. It split North America from Eroupe and Asia, and South America from Africa. That's what created, the North Atlantic Ridge. The North Atlantic Ridge or the NAR, is long row of mountains, that splits the Atlantic Ocean. But that ridge is actually spliting up the Atlantic Ocean, and closing in on the Pacific, so basically, the earthquake is still going on, but very very slowly. So its like North America, Eroupe and Asia and Africa are floating islands, and there floating towards the Pacific and making the Atlantic wider. So that answer is yes!
