Yes, in fact, Pangea was developed as a result of Wegner's work on continental drift.

Why did Pangaea separate?

Currents in the Earth's mantle broke it up and dragged it apart. Rodinia, Gondwana, Pangaea. The Wilson cycle completes on a half billion year cycle (about every 500 million years).The movements of plate tectonics. When the plates move, the ground of Pangaea cracked and splitted up into Laurasia and Gondwanaland, which then split up into the seven continents that exists today.We believe Pangaea broke up through the theory of continental drift. This is plate tectonics.Plate Tectonics. The plates are floating and are constantly moving, according to the plate tectonics theory.


Does Pangaea still exist today?

No, Pangaea no longer exists today. It broke apart over 200 million years ago, leading to the formation of the continents as we know them now.


How big is pangaea?

Pangaea was a supercontinent that existed around 335 million to 175 million years ago, during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras. It was estimated to have been roughly 100 million square kilometers in size, which is larger than the combined landmass of today's continents.


What component of Earths atmosphere exists entirely as a result of photosynthesis?

Oxygen is the component of Earth's atmosphere that exists entirely as a result of photosynthesis. Plants and other photosynthetic organisms convert carbon dioxide into oxygen during the process of photosynthesis.


How would you disprove the theory of continental drift?

The theory of continental drift has been well-supported by evidence from various fields such as paleontology, geology, and paleoclimatology. To disprove it, one would need to provide strong evidence that contradicts the observed patterns of continental fit, matching geological formations across continents, distribution of fossils, and other supporting data. However, to date, no such evidence exists to conclusively disprove the theory of continental drift.

Do a scientific law explain why it exists?

No it does not because it just let you know that it exists.

Name the two types of lithospheric plates?

There are two types of lithosphere: the oceanic lithosphere and the continental lithosphere. The oceanic lithosphere exists in the ocean basins while the continental lithosphere exists in the continental crust.
