Pangaea Research Paper
It was stated by Al Gore that the Earth was once only one continent, and I agree.
The world was not always differentiated as 7 different continents. Rather, during the late Paleozoic (Ancient life) and Mesozoic era (Middle life), the world used to be one big super continent, known as the Pangaea. The gigantic ocean that surrounded the Pangaea was the Panthalassa. The Pangea was originally discovered by a Greek meteorologist named Alfred Wegener in 1912. The Pangaea started breaking apart approximately 200 million years ago during the Jurassic period. You might be wondering why the Pangaea split up, and the answer is plate tectonics, or better known as continental drift as Alfred Wegener liked to call it. The Plate tectonics in the lithosphere
