Antarctica was connected to the supercontinent Gondwana, located near the South Pole, around 250 million years ago during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras. Over millions of years, tectonic plate movements caused Antarctica to drift to its current location in the Southern Hemisphere.
No. Antarctica is one of the modern continents. The continent the broke up in the Mesozoic was called Pangaea.
Gondwanaland was a supercontinent that gradually broke apart due to the movement of tectonic plates, forming the continents we have today. Antarctica drifted towards its current location at the South Pole as the breakup occurred. Today, Antarctica is mostly covered by ice, making it one of the coldest and most isolated places on Earth.
Antarctica was joined with South America, Australia, and New Zealand 65 million years ago as part of the supercontinent Gondwana. Over time, the breakup of Gondwana led to the separation of these landmasses to form the modern continents.
The youngest continent is Australia, which began to separate from Antarctica around 50 million years ago.
Yes, millions of years ago Antarctica was located closer to the equator. Over time, the movement of tectonic plates caused the continent to drift to its current location in the southern hemisphere.
Antarctica was located near the South Pole 250 million years ago, as part of the supercontinent Pangaea. Over time, plate tectonics caused Pangaea to break apart and Antarctica to drift to its current location at the southern tip of the world.
No. Antarctica has been ice-covered for 35 million years.
west
yes, there were trees in Antarctica before almost 200 million years ago when dinosaurs were existed
The Mesosaurus lived in Antarctica back 100 million to 200 million years ago : )
I think it was made 170 million years ago
Australia separated from Antarctica around 85 million years ago during the breakup of the supercontinent Gondwana. This separation gradually led to the formation of the Southern Ocean and the distinct landmasses we recognize today as Australia and Antarctica.
I don't know sorry
Antartica was a piece of stick then it grew through time.
Pangaea was the original super-continent which broke up into Gondwanaland and Laurasia. Gondwanaland consisted of present day Africa, Antarctica, Australia, India and South America and began to break up about 250 million years ago. Antarctica was completely free of the other land masses by 30 million years ago.
No. Antarctica is one of the modern continents. The continent the broke up in the Mesozoic was called Pangaea.
India actually separated from the east side of Africa long after Africa-India separated from Antarctica. It left behind Madagascar and a long trail of small islands as it got further and further from Africa.Africa-India separated from Antarctica roughly 170 million years agoIndia separated from Africa roughly 110 million years agoIndia collided with Asia roughly 20 million years agoYou can estimate it yourself from the figures above.
