Yes, there are a number of proofs:

1. Continents have a puzzle like fit

2. Glacier marks found in Antarctica are found pointing in the same direction in areas including South Africa and Southern South America.

3. Animals that only move by foot have been found in continents overseas.

4. Tropical plants that are found in South America can also be found in Africa.

5. Tectonic Plate movement

How can the theory of pangaea be used today?

The theory of Pangaea helps us understand the movement of Earth's tectonic plates and how continents have shifted over geologic time. It also explains the distribution of similar fossils and rock formations on different continents. Understanding Pangaea can aid in predicting future tectonic movements and natural disasters related to plate tectonics.


Is pangaea a moon?

No, Pangaea was and is not a moon of any kind. Pangaea was the name of a large supercontinent which once combined all continents of the planet Earth. For more information, I recommend checking one of the following links: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_did_Pangaea_look_like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Pangaea_continents.png http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pangaea


Which of the following implies that an idea is absolutely true?

None of the following options necessarily imply that an idea is absolutely true. Ideas can be supported by evidence, logic, and reasoning, but there is always a degree of uncertainty and room for error in any claim of absolute truth.


How the principle of uniformitarianism and evidence from index fossils supports the existence of Pangaea?

well cant say how uniformitarianism would support it but as far as index fossils go think about the fact that a for a single species to survive on multiple continents at same time it would need the same environment and apparently its not the case now but Pangaea was a single continent @ one place with single environment. so if any index fossils spread across multiple continents point towards them being of same environment and the most logical explanation is them being at the similar lat-long which sort of points us towards the idea that is Pangaea!


A theory is a hypothesis that has been proven true?

No. It can never be "proven" true. It's always open to question, and to any demonstration of its failure.But after time goes by, and no evidence has been presented to demonstrate that the hypothesis fails, and the hypothesis has made predictions that were confirmed by experiments designed to test them, then the hypothesis may be elevated to the status of a theory. But it's still waiting to be debunked.Interesting that a theory can be dis-proven in a day, but can't be proven in a thousand years. That's Science.

When does a set of hypotheses become a theory?

The need for PROOF. Hypothesis, is a thoery without proof. 'Hypo' Classical Greek for 'Under/ Less than' & 'thesis' a thoery . A Theory has a PROOF , that it is universally accepted by one's peers.


Is it possible that the the material required for the universe to begin came from parallel universe theory?

If you are referring to "brane" or M-theory... which states that our universe which is contained in one membrane, then yes, there are people who have advanced that theory. According to them, the Big Bang occured when our brane and one positioned next to it collided - transferring energy (and matter) from that brane (and its universe) into our brane. There is, as yet, no proof that this is true, and it's possible that whether it's true or not there never will be any proof, making it almost as much a matter of faith as "Let there be light." But with math.


Is it true any hunch you have is a good as a scientific theory?

a theorem rather, it has to be proven to become an accepted theory.

What is the difference between postulates and hypotheses?

postulate is something that is assumed to be true wthout any proof, but the hypothesis is something not considered to be true or false wthout a proof or further experimentations (bakhtawar tufail)


What is wegner's theory?

'''It might be long but it has useful info!''' '''Alfred Wegner's Theory''' Wegner's (pronounced vegner because he was German) theory was that millions and millions of years ago, the seven continents were all joined together in a large continent called Pangaea. Pangaea means "whole earth", do you get it? Obviously, the continents are not joined together now. This explains ''continental drift''; another part of Wegner's theory. Continental drift is the slow movement of continents. Pangaea's continents slowly started drifting away from each other to where they are now. Many people think Wegner's theory is whacky, he has proof though. '''Proof:''' '''Evidence 1:''' Don't the continents look like a puzzle? If you look on a world map, doesn't it look like South America can fit perfectly into Africa? Many oher continents can do that; look at a world map closely. '''Evidence 2:''' Now, all the continents are very well apart. How come north Africa shares the same fossils as South America? Many countries share the same fossils, but they are on the other side of the word. The only way that could be is if all the continents were once together but separated by continental drift. Go on any search engine and look up images of Pangaea; it's pretty cool. It makes a lot of sense, right? I'm pretty sure Wegner is right. But is you don't believe in his theory of Pangaea or continental drift, look it up and get more research on it. I hope this was helpful and informational for you! Thanks!


Can you see a map of Pangaea?

Nothing with any detail; Pangaea broke up millions of years ago.
