Geographers feel earth was once one big continent what call this continent?
Geographers refer to the single landmass that they believe existed in the distant past as "Pangaea." This supercontinent is thought to have gradually broken apart into the continents we recognize today due to the movement of tectonic plates.
What era did continents assume their current positions?
Mesozoic Era
Which continen is known as the dark continent?
Africa is often referred to as the "Dark Continent" due to its relatively lesser-known history and cultures compared to other continents during the era of European colonization. This term carries a colonial connotation and is not reflective of the richness and diversity of African cultures and societies.
Which of these was not an ancient continent Pangaea Laurasia Gondwana Cenozoa?
Cenozoa is not an ancient continent. Instead, it is an era in the geological time scale that started around 66 million years ago and continues to the present day. Pangaea, Laurasia, and Gondwana were ancient supercontinents that existed before breaking apart into the continents we recognize today.
The continents assumed their current positions during the era?
Mesozoic

Compared to total land area of all continents today total land area of Pangaea was about the same half as great?
At the close of the Paleozoic Era and continuing into the Mesozoic Era, almost all of Earth's land areas were joined together into a single large continent Pangea. The total land area of that continent was about the same as the total land area of all of the continemts today.
What era did the continents assume their position?
Mesozoic Era
The super-continent formed at the end of the Paleozoic era?
That was Pangea (from the Greek for Entire Earth). It was surrounded by Panthallasa (Greek for Entire Sea).
How did the continents move during each of the eras?
During the Paleozoic Era, the continents were mostly joined together as a supercontinent called Pangaea. In the Mesozoic Era, Pangaea began to break apart, leading to the formation of the modern continents. Throughout the Cenozoic Era, the continents continued to move to their current positions due to the process of plate tectonics.
Did the continents move together during the geological era?
according to scientist the answer is yes, yes they were connected to form a super continent known as Pangaea research Pangaea on Google or something to find out more
What era did continents assume their current positions?
Mesozoic Era
How long ago was the 6th century?
That is the Precambrian era, when the earth and moon formed. the continents were merging together to form super-continents, and simple single cellular organisms began the first life on the planet,
At the end of mesozoic era did the continents took on their modern shape?
No, at the end of the Mesozoic era, about 66 million years ago, the continents were still in the process of drifting to their current positions. It was during the Cenozoic era that the continents took on their modern shapes due to the continued movement of tectonic plates.
What are the names of continents in the triassic period?
The only continent in the Triassic period was the supercontinent known as Pangaea.
Which continen is known as the dark continent?
Africa is often referred to as the "Dark Continent" due to its relatively lesser-known history and cultures compared to other continents during the era of European colonization. This term carries a colonial connotation and is not reflective of the richness and diversity of African cultures and societies.
Which era did the super continent Pangaea began to break up?
Pangaea began to break up during the Jurassic period, around 180 million years ago. This breakup eventually led to the formation of the continents as we know them today.
