What evidence may be called to prove that there once existed a super continent called Pangaea?

Evidence to prove the existence of the supercontinent Pangaea includes fossil evidence of similar plant and animal species across continents, the matching shapes of coastlines and mountain ranges on different continents, and the distribution of ancient rock formations that line up when continents are fitted together. Additionally, geological evidence such as rock layers and paleoclimatic data also supports the theory of Pangaea's existence.


Explain what force caused the movement of the cotinets from one super-continent to their present postitions?

It is continental drift moving the plates with convection currents in the mantle. Alfred Wegener came up with the plate tectonic theory in 1912 which he laters wrote about in his book in 1915 explaining the super-continent of Pangaea splitting apart to form the 7 continents. His evidence was the similar fossil evidence cross continents, coal deposit evidence and the jigsaw fit between continents such as the west coast of Africa and the east coast of South America. However, he could not prove the convection currents back in 1915. It was only in the 1950s that we found out about palaomagnetism in the Atlantic and pacific ocean with huge ridges running from north to south, thousands of kilometres wide and high.


What is required in order for and explorer to claim land?

In order for an explorer to claim land, they typically need to discover and explore the land, establish residency or settlement on it, and follow the legal procedures for claiming ownership, which can vary depending on the jurisdiction and laws governing the land. This may involve obtaining documentation or titles from the relevant authorities to prove ownership.


How could Alfred Wigner prove that all the continents were connected?

Alfred Wegener used geological and paleontological evidence to propose the theory of continental drift. He observed similarities in rock formations, fossils, and mountain ranges on different continents that suggested they were once connected. Additionally, Wegener developed a hypothesis known as Pangaea, suggesting a supercontinent that gradually broke apart over millions of years to form the continents we see today.

How might having a religious experience prove that God exists?

People have so many definitions of God so it is hard to prove that God exists. A religious experience may make a believer of you but it may not "prove" God exists as your experience may not convince a non-believer.
