Was Africa Antarctica and India once joined together into a single landmass?
Yes, Africa, Antarctica, and India were once part of a supercontinent called Gondwana. This supercontinent began breaking apart around 180 million years ago, leading to the separate continents we see today.
What 2 continents that were once joined together?
North America and Europe were once joined together as part of the supercontinent Pangaea. Over millions of years, these landmasses drifted apart due to plate tectonics, forming the Atlantic Ocean between them.
Will steel nails that are joined by a magnet remain joined if the magnet is removed?
In general, steel nails will not remain "joined" if a magnet touching them is removed. It is important to note that nails affected by a magnet retain a weak "impression" of the field and remain slightly magnetic. But the magnetic field "impressed" on the nails will be quite small and will not hold the nails together once the magnetic is removed.
What did Wegener and hypothesis of continental drift propose?
Alfred Wegener's theory was that once the continents had been joined together, and that somehow, the continents had drifted apart. His theory turned out to be right, and his theory's name was, of course, "Continental Drift."
How do the shapes of different coastlines support continental drift?
The shapes of different coastlines can provide evidence for continental drift because some coastlines on different continents appear to fit together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. For example, the coastlines of South America and Africa have similar shapes and can be fitted together. This suggests that these continents were once joined together and later drifted apart.
The geographic distribution of the swimming reptile Mesosaurus provides evidence that .?
South america and Africa were once joined.
Trees found in Australia once grew in antarctica true or false?

What two continents were once joined together in a gigantic landmass called pangaea?
Laurasia was the northern landmass that broke away from Pangaea. The modern day continents located in Laurasia were Europe (without Balkans), Asia (without India), and North America. Gondwana was the southern landmass that broke away from Pangaea. The modern day continents and countries located in Gondwana were Africa, South America, Australia, India, Arabia, Antarctica, and the European Balkans.
What is the evidence that Africa and Europe were once joined?

What two continents have the most obvious fit of the coast lines?
Africa and South America have the most obvious fit of coastlines, suggesting that they were once joined together as part of the supercontinent called Pangaea.
The continents were once joined together as one super continent called what?
Pangaea
Evidence that north America and Africa was once joined?
Fossils of the glossopteris fern, which have been found across South America, Africa, India, Antarctica, and Australia. Fossil eveidence of a triassic land reiple lystrosaurus are also found across Africa, India, Antarctica and Australia.
Where did Africa join Australia?
Africa and Australia were once part of the supercontinent Gondwana, which began to break apart about 180 million years ago. During this time, the landmasses gradually drifted apart, leading to the formation of the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean. Geologically, they are no longer joined, but they share some similarities in terms of flora and fauna due to their common origin. Today, Africa and Australia are separated by vast distances, with the Indian Ocean lying between them.
Did the east coast of what is now South America was once joined to the west coast of which other continent?
Africa
What evidence does the geographic distribution of the swimming reptile Mesosaurus provide?
South America and Africa were once joined.
