The breakup of Pangaea led to the formation of separate continents, changing ocean currents and wind patterns. This change influenced the distribution of heat and moisture around the Earth, impacting global climate patterns. As continents drifted apart, new climate zones emerged, leading to the development of different ecosystems and climates across the planet.
Climate affected Pangaea because of its size and position on Earth. As a supercontinent, Pangaea's interior regions were far from the moderating effects of the oceans, leading to extreme climate conditions. Additionally, the arrangement of Pangaea's landmasses affected ocean currents and atmospheric circulation patterns, influencing global climate.
Evolution was not the cause of the breakup of Pangaea. Pangaea broke up by a process called rifting. Upwelling in Earth's mantle started to pull the conteinent apart. As the curst thinned, it led to the formation of volcanoes, which generated new crust, helping to push the continent apart. Evolution is the process by which groups of organisms change over time. While the breakup of Pangaea undoubtedly affected the course of evolution, evolution had nothing to do with causing the breakup.
When Pangaea broke up, species had to adapt to changing environments. Those species that could adapt, changed along with their habitats. Those that could not adapt died off.
When new oceans formed, sea life formed. When Pangea split, a land bridge formed, known as the Panama Land Bridge. As the animals migrated on this bridge, the animals competed with one another. Many of the animals became extinct during this event. As opossums and armadillos traveled, they became a completely different looking species. Same for the camels and cats. The land bridge forced warm, tropical water to flow between the continents. As this process happened, the water heats the air and makes the climate milder. You're welcome :) -Ashley G.
The formation of a future Pangaea will affect the availability of water for society by closing off the access to certain bodies of water.
The breakup of Pangaea led to the formation of separate continents, changing ocean currents and climates. This shift in geography allowed species to evolve independently in different regions, leading to increased biodiversity and the spread of new species across the globe.
latitude, elevation, anegetation affect climate
seasonal winds affect climate
Pangea is one great landmass. It is not Pangaea that affects us. The term you are probably thinking of is continental drift, which is the moving of the Earth's tectonic plates. Scientists believe that as time moves on the countries are going to drift farther apart. Also, as they drift farther apart, they are technically moving closer together, and once again will form Pangaea. Hope that answers your question.
It doesn’t!
Longitudes do not affect the climate of an area but instead they cause differences in time. Latitudes on the other hand affect climate.
