The continental droft
False, the breakup of Pangaea did not result in warm, wet global climates.
Alfred Wegener
No, the breakup of Pangaea occurred long before the mass extinction of dinosaurs. The main factor believed to have caused dinosaur extinction is an asteroid impact that occurred around 66 million years ago.
Paleozoic
The breakup of Pangaea occurred in several stages over millions of years. It started with the rifting of Pangaea into two supercontinents, Laurasia and Gondwana, during the Triassic period. This was followed by further breakup into the continents we know today during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.
The Atlantic Ocean was created by the breakup of the supercontinent Pangaea. As Pangaea began to separate into the continents we know today, the Atlantic Ocean formed in between them through the process of seafloor spreading.
The breakup of Pangaea occurred during the Mesozoic Era, specifically during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. This process led to the formation of the modern continents we know today.
age of reptiles
Evolution was not the cause of the breakup of Pangaea. Pangaea broke up by a process called rifting. Upwelling in Earth's mantle started to pull the conteinent apart. As the curst thinned, it led to the formation of volcanoes, which generated new crust, helping to push the continent apart. Evolution is the process by which groups of organisms change over time. While the breakup of Pangaea undoubtedly affected the course of evolution, evolution had nothing to do with causing the breakup.
i heard that it was the exsistance and extinction of the dinosours and the continuing breakup of Pangaea
The breakup of the Pangea is a process that is continuing today. The Atlantic Ocean is broadening, and the Pacific is shrinking at the rate of approximately an inch a year.
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.
