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 on August 6th 1945?
What went around finally came around.
An American plane dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, beginning the end of the US-Japan conflict that had started with the Japanese sneak attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.
What are some main facts about pangaea?
Pangaea was a supercontinent that all continents are close to each other and they where separated after 200 million years ago and started to drift in any direction in the world
What was there before Pangaea?
The Theory of Plate Tectonics, Continental Drift states that there were previously Gondwana and Laurasia as named.
The two continents eventually merged to the single mass, Pangaea, and then broke apart after coming together in subduction, to expand and "Drift"
What evidence is there of Pangaea from climate?
The fossil of animals are evidence that support the theory of continental drift.
What did south Africa look like 5 million years ago?
same school project this side.... and also still looking....
Sea floor spreading
Subduction
Plate tectonics
Continental sift theory
Pangaea was formed how many years ago?
About 300 million years ago the continents collided to form the 'supercontinent' of Pangea. It was the PALEOZOIC era.
What happened on 17 December 1903?
the wright brothers flew the first plane
It was when the first plane was flown by a pilot
Alfred Wegener was a German weatherman (more specifically, a meteorologist at the University of Marburg) who wrote a book, "Die Entstehung der Kontinente und Ozeane," or "The Origin of Continents and Oceans" on the idea of Pangaea. This book came out in 1912 in Germany and 1915 in the USA, despite the First World War going on.
Although Alfred Wegener is often recognized as being the originator of the idea of Pangaea, the American geologist Frank Bursley Taylor started theorizing about Pangaea in 1908. He did not, however, really go anywhere with this idea and didn't come up with the name "Pangaea". Alfred Wegener did.
Pangaea was an ancient supercontinent made up of?
It was made up of our land masses today but continental drift came and moved the continents
What is a creationist theory for plate tectonics?
Creationist theory and plate tectonics do not disagree in any way.
How do earthquakes can be used to infer plate boundaries?
alright so when tectonic plates meet there are earthquakes because when the plates collide with each other because the earth is always moving it creates giant earthquakes that push and pull the tectonic plates on the crust of earth causing earth quakes. Volcanoes form at the boundaries of tectonic plates because it is one of the only places on the earths crust where there are holes in the crust so the liquid mantle (lava) can escape through the earths crust. forming volcanoes.
The process of convection occurs when there are significant differences in density, pressure or temperatures of two - or more - different layers of matter in liquid, gas, solid or plasma state.
What was Alfred wegener's final conclusion about continents ang glaciers?
there are some continents which moved from cold areas to hot areas and he gave an example of Congo were there are glacial features and some moved from hot to cold areas like Antarctica were he said there are traces of coal possibly meaning that there were some living organisms there once
When did archaea and bacteria split up split up?
Archaea and Bacteria split up right after having an argument about cheese. :)
An example of a Pangea is the earth. The continents were all part of a supercontinent hundreds of millions of years ago. Once the continents split, there were 7 continents that we know today.
Pangea is not a language. Pangea is a massive supercontinent.
When and how did Pangaea started to break up during the Mesozoic era?
Pangaea began to break up approximately 200 million years ago. It was once a super continent that became surrounded by Panthalassa which was a single global ocean.

Is there a Google Earth of Pangaea?
The Visible Paleo-Earth (VPE) project has created some representations of the Earth surface paleo-times to today. It uses paleogeography constructions combined with NASA satellite imagery to generate an interpretation of the global visual appearance of Earth in the last 750 million years, as seen from space.
There is a test version of this available for Google Earth. Revisit the VPE website or click on related link below. See also Google's April Fool's joke in 2008 that showed the theoretical Pangea as the continents may have appeared hundreds of millions of years ago.
Why is plate tectonics theory thought to be a unifying theory?
Plate tectonics is considered to be a unifying theory because a consensus finds it to be true. Most scientists believe the plate tectonics cause volcanoes and earthquakes.

A stupid storyline involving Kane and ..uuumm... Kane. Just a promotional thing for "See No Evil" movie.
