Pangaea Supercontinent

Pangaea (also spelled Pangea or Pangæa) is a theoretical supercontinent that existed about 250 million years ago. Scientists believe all seven continents as they are today were once part of a supercontinent and have slowly moved apart.

What happened in 10500 BC?

10,500 BCE was the golden age, led zepi is the name the Egyptians give it and others have included the Andes and Mexico to this date and even pondered whether an empire existed between theese countries and even continents (Africa). Some have even included Atlantis to this date and this is therefore possibly the date of it's demise . Plato refers to the continents demise as having occurred all in one unfortunate night. Mexico according to legend had Shamans at this time that invented techniques of dreaming and interstellar travel , recently evidence has been found confirming that maize was domesticated in Mexico 10,000 years ago.

These theories tend to be rejected to due to lack of evidence and scientists unwilling to agree on anything for this issue on a consensus basis. Also the admitting of this date would mean rewriting the origins o human sophistication and ancient history. Compelling evidence does however exist in regards to the Pyramids existing since 10,000 BCE this evidence suggets erosion on the Sphinx to be due to heavy rainfall occurring only at this date at this time. Histoians who don't at least accept the possibility give no logical reasons for doing so undisputable.

Why is Central America missing in Pangaea?

Central America is very small and usually considered to be a part of North America, so when mapping Pangea its prehistoric location is probably considered irrelevant.

Where does Africa join Europe during Pangea what is the evidence?

During the time of Pangea, Africa joined Europe at the region now known as the Mediterranean Sea. Geological evidence supporting this includes the presence of similar rock formations, fossil distributions, and the alignment of mountain ranges such as the Atlas in Africa and the Alps in Europe, which indicate they were once part of the same landmass. Additionally, paleomagnetic studies show that the continents have shifted over time, providing further confirmation of their past connection.

Which fossil occurs on the most landmasses and what does this suggest about when these particular continents broke up?

The fossil that occurs on the most landmasses is the Glossopteris, a seed fern found in South America, Africa, Antarctica, India, and Australia. Its widespread distribution suggests that these continents were once part of a single supercontinent, Gondwana, which existed during the late Paleozoic era. The presence of Glossopteris on multiple continents indicates that they were connected until relatively recently in geological history, supporting the theory of continental drift and suggesting that these landmasses began to separate during the Mesozoic era.

What do geologists believe the earth was like 250 million years ago?

In the Late Permian, a volcanic region in India called the Deccan Traps formed, pumping large amounts of gases into Earth's atmosphere. These created a greenhouse effect, raising global temperatures. This is known as the End Permian Extinction.

By the Permian-Triassic boundary, 250 million years ago, vast deserts covered the planet. Over 90 percent of all animal species on Earth had died out.

How did the Pangaea become together?

Well, there is a theory of plate tectonics, which is the movement of plates on the lithosphere, which is the surface of the earth.

The Pangaea was actually the first land form before it split apart by convection currents,(as far as we know) and other forces that would move the plates.

So Pangaea got together by the same way it spread apart.

Describe the direction each land mass has moved to get from pangaea to its present location use north south east and west in your answer for each piece of land you cut out?

Pangaea was a major contient it has moved liek this first it took up 67812^2 by the mass of each contient then it moved when the divergent happens. The divergent takes all the continetal plates and sperates them from mid of n to e s w n ne nw sw se it moved in this following spaces and that's how we got the present worlds map. :(:)-_)(

Was Pangea before Noah's Ark?

-----------------------

Pangaea, or Pangea, was the supercontinent that existed around 250 million years ago, clearly very long before the time attributed to Noah's Flood. It is now known that continental drift has both separated the continents and driven them together.

Some Christians say that the scientific dating is wrong, and that Pangea existed up until the time of the biblical Flood, the force of which destroyed the old landforms and created new ones. However, this faith-based hypothesis does not explain:

  • Modern continents still have the outlines where they once fitted together.
  • Fossil evidence of similar, now-extinct species that once thrived in close proximity, on continents that are now widely separated.
  • The Himalayas and the Tibetan plateau can be shown to have been driven up as the Indian landmass rammed into the Asian landmass.
  • The structures of deep-ocean trenches that continue to form symetrically at the junctures of the continental plates.

There is no doubt that Pangea is many millions of years old. There is no evidence for a great, world-wide flood, but the Bible places in in very recent, historical times.

What animals lived on Pangaea?

Pangaea existed from the Permian, about 299 million years ago, through the Triassic, and into the early Jurassic.

There were very different animals in Pangaea during the Permian than there were in the Triassic because, at the end of the Permian, about 90% of species became extinct in the worst mass extinction in Earth's history.

PermianInsects in Pangaea included beetles, dragonflies, and flies. Early in the Permian, large amphibians and pelycosaur reptiles, like the carnivorous, sail backed Demitrodon, or the herbivorous, sail backed Edaphosaurus. Later in the Permian the archosaurs evolved, which later gave rise to the dinosaurs, pterosaurs, and crocodillians. There were also therapsids, the reptillian ancestors of mammals. TriassicThe temnospndyli, which were large amphibians, and therapsids both survived the Permian extinction event. Archosaurs were the primary terrestrial vertebrates. There were herbivores such as Hyperodapedon, and carnivores like Postosuchus. The first dinosaurs were small meat eaters like Eoraptor, and small, long necked, herbivorous dinosaurs called prosauropods, evolved in Panagaea during the Triassic.

What do you know about a 1974 penny with what looks like JFK stamped next to Lincoln facing him?

This is a novelty item known as a "Lincoln Facing Kennedy" penny.

Many of these were manufactured by private individuals in the 1970's as an advertising gimmick. They would take a normal penny (dates will vary) and stamp Kennedy's image into the coin. Then they would attach the coin to a card, which would have listed the "Astonishing Coincidences" between the two presidents. Ususally these cards would also have some kind of advertisement for a local business at the bottom.

A picture of one of these advertising cards is here : http://www.workingmancoins.com/ForSale/Pics/OtherLinKenCard1974.jpg

A closeup of the list of the "Astonishing Coincidences" is here : http://www.workingmancoins.com/HistoryLinKenFacts.jpg

I have sold many of these Lincoln-Kennedy pennies over the years for $1.00 apiece, and carded ones for $2.50 each.

What happened to the y2k scare?

There was a very profitable notion that when the new millennium began, computers would be unable to cope with the new date settings. Many programmes were sold that provided assurance that this would not affect the computer for which the protective programme was purchased. The assurance was justified - because there was no problem in the first place. The money was wasted.

Did god really exist ten million years ago?

According to religious people, yes, God existed at the beginning of time.

Why is the omission of Iceland from laurasia reasonable?

What now is Iceland never was part of the Laurasia continent. Rather, it is a volcanic formation that stems from volcanic activity on the border of the North-American and the Eurasian tectonic plates. The oldest rock formations on Iceland are only 16 million years old. In comparison, the break-up of Laurasia started 200 million years ago, dinosaurs were extinct 65 million years ago and Greenland separated from Europe 60 million years ago.

What happened after Gondwanaland and Laurasia?

a mederite that was 50000000 metres large hit it. this happen because god was doing an experiment on earth.

What happened to Voltron?

The original Voltron series (Voltron: Defender of the Universe) was brought back to Cartoon Network's "Toonami" for a short period of time in the 1990's. In the last few years, a "Voltron: The Third Dimension" series was released in 3-D and sold to the "Crackle Network."

NOTE:Currently, Voltron is being re-introduced with an all new cartoon and movie. World Entertainment Productions (currently owns the rights to Voltron) confirmed that the new cartoon will be on NickToons in Spring 2011. The Voltron movie will be in theatres before 2014.

Where was Iceland during Pangaea?

Iceland is a volcanic island that was created 16 to 18 million years ago. The age of Pangea is 400 millon years. So Island did not exist when the continents were still connected in the super continent of Pangea.
