If particular continents broke up, it would lead to significant geological, environmental, and ecological changes. Tectonic activity would increase, potentially resulting in earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. The separation could also alter ocean currents and weather patterns, impacting climates and ecosystems. Additionally, the fragmentation could affect biodiversity, as species would become isolated and evolve independently.

What would happen if the continents smashed back together?

Some of this is already happening: India is smashing into Asia, building the extremely high Himalaya mountains. In some places it is likely that a period of extreme volcanic activity might happen too.


What would happen to the earths continents if mountain were not being continuously formed?

Without continuous mountain formation, erosion would gradually wear down existing mountains to create flatter landscapes. Eventually, the continents would become more level over time, with mountains turning into hills and plains.


How did fossils provide evidence for continents drifts?

because if the same fossils were found in the same spot but on two different continents and if you put the continents together like a puzzle and the fossils were in the same spot, it would mean the continents drifted apart.


Will Pangaea exist again in the future?

I am pretty sure humans would be able to survive on pangaea. The only problems that could happen is drastic temperature changes and water would be hard to transport to countries that are landlock. War would wage on for territory/land. The only good sides would be that traveling becomes faster and probably better communication with people from different lands. Now if your talking about if we would be able to survive the continents suddenly coming together then thats a whole other story. There would be earthquakes and lava would spew from under the land. If people are still alive would have to run from all the terror. But luckily since we are a technology thriving worls we should be able to surpass that. Hopes it answers you question. :)


What did Wegener say about how continents move?

Alfred Wegener also came up with a theory to explain continental drift, although it was in error. His theory of continental drift proposed that centrifugal force moved the heavy continents toward the equator as the Earth spun. He thought that inertia, from centrifugal movement combined with tidal drag on the continents (caused by the gravitational pull of the sun and moon) would account for continental drift.I think the sentence in italic and bold is the answer...~anonme~!danah!
