Pangea meaning "all lands" was the name given to the single super continent by Alfred Wegner, the originator of the theory of continental drift. Pangea broke into several smaller continents that subsequently drifted away from each other. Tectonic is relating to, causing, or resulting from structural deformation of the earth's crust.

What caused Pangaea or Pangaea?
The creation of Pangaea was due to plate tectonics which causes continents to grow closer at times, and further apart at others.
What forms of science were used to help gather evidence for the existence of Pangaea?
Plate tectonics led to the theory of Pangaea.
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.
What caused pangaea to separate?
Plate Tectonics. Plate Tectonics are the sub-layers that lie underneath the Earth's surface. They can rub against together, smash together, or pull away from each other. This is what caused Pangaea to separate.
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.
Another word in plate tectonics that mean all land?
Pangaea is Greek for "all land."
Why did Pangaea become 7 contents?
Plate Tectonics broke Pangaea apart.

What does laurasia have to do with pangaea?
Laurasia is one of two continents (the other being Gondwana) formed when Pangaea split into two sub-continents, due to plate tectonics.
