What is the difference between earth now and when it was Pangaea?
Pangaea was a supercontinent that existed around 335 million years ago, while Earth now is divided into several separate continents. The major difference is in the landmass arrangement, as Pangaea was a single large landmass, whereas the current continents are separated by oceans. Additionally, the climate, ecosystems, and species distribution were different during the time of Pangaea compared to the present day.
Will Pangaea ever form again in the future?
It is possible that Pangaea might happen again in around 250 million years from now and is planned to be called Pangaea Ultima, but no one knows for sure yet. It is only a possible future supercontinent.
What did earths surface look like in the cretaceous period?
During the Cretaceous period, Earth's surface was drastically different from today. The continents were closer together, forming the supercontinent Pangaea, surrounded by a vast ocean called Panthalassa. There were high sea levels, with shallow tropical seas covering many areas that are now land.
What caused breakup of Pangaea?
The earth is broken up into plates. Even when the world was called Pangaea, there were still plates. The plates begin to move, however, only about 1 cm a year. This is why we now have continents. Scientists predict that a few 100 years from now, the world will look even more different. If you type in the earths tech tonic plates into wikipedia, it might help you a little more than i did.
What did Pangaea look like?
Pangaea is believed to have been a supercontinent that included all of the continents we know today in one giant landmass. A web address where an approximate picture of what Pangaea may have looked like can be found at the related link below. The "map" located at this link includes the countries as they are now, in order to show the original makeup of the continents.
What did pangaea look like when it was broken up?
a bit like the continents now just closer and twisted

What does Pangaea looks like now?
all of the continents broke apart

Where was Hawaii located while in Pangaea?
During the time of Pangaea, Hawaii was located near the equator in the region that is now the central Pacific Ocean. It was part of the larger landmass that made up Pangaea before tectonic plate movements separated it from the rest of the supercontinent.
Why do the continents look the way they do today?
My opinion on this question is that its probably a pattern on earth. Maybe in millions of years the earth would look like pangea, then eventually back to how it is now and repeating.
What does the equilateral look like?
The Equilateral looks like a line that splits the earth but doesn't. It's hot and you can not see it. Do you know what it is now?
What is the theory now known as of the Pangaea?
Pangaea is the theory that all the continents were all connected in the palezoic era or about 250 million years ago. This theory is supported by the evidence that fossils of animals have been found throughout many continents. other evidences have to do with the similarities of the continents that are said to have been connected during that time period (like the similarities between South America and West Africa). If you look at the map you can see that the continents also look like a puzzle that can be connected together. Geologists have studied the plate tectonics have have come to the conclusion that the theory of Pangaea is seemingly accurate.

Will there be a Pangaea two?
Pangaea was caused by the moving of the continents and slowly the continents are moving right now so, probably... just think about it...
