What was there before Pangaea?
The Theory of Plate Tectonics, Continental Drift states that there were previously Gondwana and Laurasia as named.The two continents eventually merged to the single mass, Pangaea, and then broke apart after coming together in subduction, to expand and "Drift"
Why is plate tectonics theory thought to be a unifying theory?
Plate tectonics is considered to be a unifying theory because a consensus finds it to be true. Most scientists believe the plate tectonics cause volcanoes and earthquakes.
What are the 3 theories of crustal movement?
Plate Tectonics Continental drift theory 'Raisin' Theory
What theory of continental placement was being discussed during the time Wegener introduced his Pangaea theory?
the contractions
What is the theory that the lithosphere is divided into tectonic plates that move around?
That would be the theory of plate tectonics.

Why are Pangaea and plate tectonics related?
Plate tectonics is the theory of continental drift. As Pangaea is what scientists and geologistsbase continental drift on (as it was the original cluster formation of all continents), they are very closely related and usually are within the same field of study.
What is proof of theory of plate tectonics developed?
because of pangaea
What forms of science were used to help gather evidence for the existence of Pangaea?
Plate tectonics led to the theory of Pangaea.
What forms of evidence were used to help gather evidence for the existence of pangaea?
Plate tectonics led to the theory of Pangaea.
What is the theory of Pangea?
The theory of Pangaea was that the continents were once together and then were drifted apart due to plate tectonics.
What are the opposing views to the Pangaea theory?
There are no commonly accepted opposing scientific views on plate tectonics or the existence of the supercontinent Pangaea.
How is plate tectonics a theory?
plate tectonics is a theory because t explains the formation, movement, and subduction of earth' s plates.
