some scientists are starting to think that the earth was once separated and then over millions of years the continents came together as one forming Pangaea which is the Latin root meaning and i quote "all earth." when i was in fifth grade we learned about Pangaea and it happens to be the mantel that formed Pangaea! the mantel moves like an ocean current and the crust (the land part of earth) floats on it so that is how Pangaea formed i hope my answer helped you understand it a little bit better!! :)
What else can I help you with?
When was Pangea formed?
Pangea formed about 335 million years ago during the late Paleozoic era, as the supercontinent began to come together through the process of continental drift.
What was the process called when the Pangea broke apart?
The process when Pangea broke apart is called continental drift or plate tectonics. It involved the gradual movement of the Earth's lithosphere plates, resulting in the separation of the once-connected landmasses that formed Pangea.
When did Pangea form?
There is no exact (or even reasonably approximate) estimate for when Pangea formed, but the supercontinent could have come together between 200-300 million years ago. Pangea began to rift and break apart around 200 million years ago.
What was earth called when it was one big land?
It was called Pangea
How big was Pangea?
Pangea was a supercontinent that existed around 335-175 million years ago. It was formed by the collision of several continents, covering about one-third of the Earth's surface. It began breaking apart around 175 million years ago.
A giant landmass from which today's continents were formed?
pangea
When did the earthquake plates get formed?
After pangea, the ancient super-continent, spread out.
Why did Atlantic ocean form?
When the super-continent Pangea began separating into separate continents, the Atlantic Ocean formed from Panthalassa (which was the ocean surrounding Pangea.)
When was Pangea formed?

How long did Pangaea form?
Pangea formed in the late Carboniferous about 300 million years ago.
What is the name of the supercontinent Wegener believe once existed?
The supercontinent is called Pangea, formed 300 million years ago
How did earth end up with layers?
Earth was once a big ball which contain pangea and godwanaland.layer where formed then.
How long ago did Pangaea form?
Pangea formed in the late Carboniferous about 300 million years ago.
What language is pangea?
Pangea is not a language. Pangea is a massive supercontinent.
