theory of Alfred Lothar Wegener‚ a German meteorologist‚ was published; expanded editions were published in 1920‚ 1922‚ and 1929. About 300 million years ago‚ claimed Wegener‚ the continents had formed a single mass‚ called Pangaea (from the Greek for "all the Earth"). Pangaea had split‚ and its pieces had been moving away from each other ever since. Wegener was not the first to suggest that the continents had once been connected‚ but he was the first to present extensive evidence from several fields

evidence supporting the concept of plate tectonics. Type your response here: The plate tectonics theory was put forward by Alfred Wegener suggesting that the continents were at one point all conjoined in one supercontinent known as Pangaea. He then said that Pangaea had drifted apart through the movement of plates to give us the current places of continents we have today. Wegener’s theory was linked to a variety of evidence‚ however it took further research and evidence for this to become a leading

Pannotia‚ and the third and most recent is Pangaea. These obviously aren’t here anymore and there won’t be another for a long time. From 50 million years to 200 million years. Could this actually happen again? The answer is yes. What even are supercontinents? One wouldn’t know if it could happen again if they don’t know what it is. Well‚ a supercontinent is several land masses together. None of those exist right now‚ and they won’t for many lifetimes. Pangaea is a more famous supercontinent because

believed that all the continents—not just Africa and South America—had once been joined in a single supercontinent. This huge ancient landmass is known as Pangaea‚ which means “all lands” in Greek. Pangaea existed about 240 million years ago. By about 200 million years ago‚ this supercontinent began breaking up. Over millions of years‚ Pangaea separated into pieces that moved away from one another. These pieces slowly assumed their present positions as the continents. PLATE TECTONIC THEORY Plate

Plate Tectonics Ever since the beginning on time‚ Humans believed the ground is solid and immobile. But this is not true whatsoever. The Earth is every-changing and continually in motion. The stability of the Earth is not at all what we think it is. Thinking about the rotational axis of the Earth‚ and possibly of what the Earth may become at a certain point in time‚ has a great influence on understanding all aspects of living things‚ either in the past‚ present‚ or future.

main gyres so the west pacific‚ the east pacific‚ south pacific‚ indian‚ south and north Atlantic. Hundreds of millions of years ago‚ all the continents on Earth were connected to form a giant “supercontinent” called Pangaea. How might ocean currents have differed during the time of Pangaea compared to today? Explain your answer. A: Well when all these continents were connected together the oceans looked different. So you could not have a North Atlantic and a South Pacific. So this would mean the currents
