Pangea is the name of the latest super continent, but it is widely believed that there were more than one cycle of such "super continent, followed by breakup".
Rodinia is the name given the immediate preceding super continent, and traces of at least one other are observed by believers.
What else can I help you with?
Scientist have found fossils of the same organism on different continents what does this suggest?
The discovery of fossils of the same organism on different continents suggests that these landmasses were once connected as part of a single supercontinent. This supports the theory of plate tectonics, which explains the movement of Earth's lithosphere. The distribution of these fossils provides evidence for the movement of species across land bridges or through continental drift over millions of years.
What two processes help continents grow?
* Magmatism creates new crust along continental margins and as island arcs such as with the subduction of the Juan de Fuca plate under the North American plate continues to add material to the crust in the Cascade Range. * Accretion of pieces of crust such as island arcs and sea mounts with existing large continents. As plate movements subduct plates, the subducted plates bring with it land masses that if sufficiently buoyant can collide and merge with the larger continent.
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!
Are aquifers big?
They may be large. The Great Artesian Basin aquifer covers about 1.7x106 km2. This aquifer may underlie more than 20% of the Australian continent. It is very important for agriculture and pastoralism, and is nationally managed.In 2009 fracking for Coal Seam Gas introduced noxious chemicals into a Queensland portion of the acquifer, and this is not regarded lightly.There are major and important aquifers on all the continents.[Lake Vostok in the Antarctic lies under >3000m of ice, but its surface is about 500m below sea level. Of course, if the ice were removed, the isostatic rebound of the landmass may rise the lake above sea level. But true aquifers will be in that continent.]
A large electrostatic generator is commonly called a?
Van de Graaff. its not spelled wrong its just french.
What is the two continents that makes up a single large landmass?
Eurasia is the single large landmass made up of the continents of Europe and Asia. These two continents are connected by the landmass in regions such as Russia, creating the combined landmass of Eurasia.
All continents were once connected as one large landmass are now called?
The supercontinent that existed when all continents were connected is called Pangaea. Over time, Pangaea began to break apart due to tectonic movements, eventually forming the distinct continents we have today.
What is a large unbroken landmass called?
A large unbroken landmass is called a continent. Examples of continents include Asia, Africa, and South America.
What is the landmass called?
The landmass is known as continents, which are large, continuous areas of land separated by oceans. Some examples of continents are Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America.
What is the large ancient landmass composed of all the continents joined together?
That supercontinent was called "Pangea".
Which of the continents form one large landmass?
Australia
What is a large landmass that is part of the earths crust?
continents
What is the large landmass that is part of earth's crust?
continents
What two continents are joined into one large landmass?
Europe and Asia are joined into one large landmass known as Eurasia.
Why are Europe and Asia connected?
Europe and Asia are connected geographically due to the lack of clear physical boundaries between the two continents. The classification of Europe and Asia as separate continents is largely based on cultural and historical factors rather than distinct physical features. This has led to the belief that they are two separate continents, even though they are part of the same landmass known as Eurasia.
What large ancient landmass that consisted of all the continents on earth?
the answer is Pangaea
What is the large ancient landmass that consisted of all the continents on earth?
Pangaea
