Pangaea
No. Antarctica is one of the modern continents. The continent the broke up in the Mesozoic was called Pangaea.
True. The concept you are referring to is called Pangea, which was the supercontinent that existed around 225 million years ago before breaking apart into the continents we know today.
Did you know that Pangaea started 225 million years ago. In my science text book for seventh grade i learned something really amazing. They have images of pangaea drifting apart. I noticed that it drifts apart each 45 million years. The weird thing is that the Mesozoic Era the period of the dinosaurs began 245 million years ago and lasted 180 years. The second drift is when dinosaurs roamed the earth, the meteor that ended dinosaurs hit earth 65 million years ago which hit the coast of New Mexico. Which the thrid drift is when the northern cracked and left eastern part of Asia and Europe. Hope this helps!!
This landmass is known as Pangaea and it existed during the Triassic period. Over time, Pangaea began to break apart due to the movement of tectonic plates, eventually leading to the formation of the continents as we know them today.
The Columbian Icefields are approximately 140 miles (225 km) away from Banff. The drive takes about 2.5 to 3 hours one way.
The supercontinent that broke up about 225 million years ago is called Pangaea.
the name of the continent that existed 225 million years ago was pangaea
The name of the super continent was Gondwanna (sometimes as Gondwana). When it broke up, Australia and the other southern continents split from each other. And the Indian sub-continent headed off in a roughly northern direction to collide with Asia and create the Himalayas, which are still growing. At an earlier time, the Northern super continent and the Southern one were believed to be one super continent, Pangaea. The northern collection of continents and major islands was Laurasia, and the Southern one Gondwanna.

Yes, the pieces of Pangaea began to drift apart about 225 million years ago during the Early Jurassic period. This gradual separation eventually led to the formation of the continents as we know them today.
Yes, it is true that the pieces of the supercontinent Pangaea began to drift apart around 225 million years ago in a process known as continental drift. This movement eventually led to the formation of the current continents we see today.
No, the supercontinent that began to break apart about 225 million years ago is called Pangaea, not Antarctica. Antarctica is the southernmost continent on Earth, situated over the South Pole. Pangaea eventually broke apart to form the continents we know today.
From 225 to 65 million years ago 225 million - 65 million = 160 million BC So that means dinosaurs have been on the earth for 160 million years.
225 million years ago !
