Pangaea, the supercontinent, split up due to the movement of tectonic plates. This movement caused the continents to drift apart over millions of years, leading to the formation of the current continents. The process is known as plate tectonics.
The missing word is "can." The complete sentence is: "Studying you can infer how Pangaea split into continents."
Pangaea split into two main pieces: Laurasia in the north and Gondwana in the south. Over time, these landmasses further fragmented into the continents we recognize today.
Pangaea was a supercontinent that existed around 335 million years ago and later split into the continents we have today. Panthalassa was the vast ocean surrounding Pangaea.
The supercontinent that broke apart is called Pangaea. It split into Laurasia in the north and Gondwana in the south.
Pangaea split apart due to the process of plate tectonics, where the Earth's outer shell is divided into plates that move and interact. The movement of these plates caused Pangaea to gradually break apart over millions of years, leading to the formation of the current continents.
It split up into various continents and India attached to Asia.

One of the two supercontinents that Pangaea split into is Laurasia.
Pangea was all continents before they split up into different regions.
I think Pangaea was the name of the 'supercontinent' that existed billions of years ago that eventually split up to form the continents that exist today.
The two supercontinents that Pangaea split up into were Laurasia and Gondwana. Laurasia eventually formed North America, Europe, and Asia, while Gondwana formed South America, Africa, Antarctica, Australia, and the Indian subcontinent.
Pangaea, from the greek for Entire Earth, is the name scientists have given to the mass of all continents before they split up from tectonic movement and continental drift.
The missing word is "can." The complete sentence is: "Studying you can infer how Pangaea split into continents."
Pangaea existed from about 250 to 175 million years ago.
The land mass was called Pangaea before the continents split into the continents we know today. Pangaea was a supercontinent that existed about 335 million years ago.
Not all parts of Pangaea have split up. Pangaea is merely the most recent of several 'build and scatter'processes that have occurred in our Earth's history. Some of the parts of this assembly are known as cratons, and have survived several generations of 'build and scatter'. A search in your on-line encyclopedia under 'super continent' should turn up the names and dates of some earlier ones.
It shows that Pangaea was a long continent that crossed the equator. Asia & North America then split from the other continent. Antarctica split off the rest.
