During the time of Pangaea, ancient North America experienced a diverse climate influenced by its vast size and geographic positioning. The continent likely had a mix of tropical and temperate conditions, with warm, humid environments in the interior supporting lush forests and extensive wetlands. Coastal regions may have been more temperate, while northern areas experienced cooler climates. Overall, the climate would have varied significantly across different regions, reflecting the complex interplay of geography and global climate patterns of the time.

Explain what the climate in ancient North America must have been like as a part of Pangaea?
The climate of North America must have been much warmer and more humid than it is in the present day. This is because when North America was a part of Pangaea, it was much closer to the equator (see figure 17.5 on page 471). Since the equator receives the highest concentration of the sun's energy and heat, the climate is warmer. So when the super-continent split apart, North America drifted towards the north end of the planet to reach the position it is at today, giving it the present cool climate. The climate of ancient North America must have been close to the current climate of South Asia (places such as India), and Central Africa.

What are the two continents that Pangaea seporated into?
Pangaea separated into Laurasia, which became North America and Eurasia, and Gondwana, which became South America, Africa, Antarctica, Australia, and the Indian subcontinent.
Appalachian mountains are older or younger than pangaea?
The Appalachians are younger than Pangaea because they were formed during the process in which North America removed itself from Pangaea and into the west.
