Pangea Breakup and Continental Drift Animation

Wegner had wondered why some continents fit into each other  and why rocks from South America had ended up in Antarctica. After lots and lots of research, he made an hypothesis that there was once a place called Pangea. When this idea to the world, there was some and some not so positive feed back. After lots of proof has been shown, a majority of the world believes that Pangea was real.

gondwana and laurasia are the two large continents that made the super continent pangea

This is another picture of what Pangea looked like

this picture shows pangea and then pangea breaking apart. it is showing where the continents fit together

Pangea was a supercontinent that existed during the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras, (225 million years ago) and was a big piece of land that formed by converging all of the continents. Then, the plate tectonics under the ocean shifted, which caused Pangea to break apart into separate pieces. The pieces or landmasses that used to make up Pangea are now the continents we have and know today. If you take a look at a map from showing our world today, you can see that some of the continents looked like they could fit together like a puzzle. This inspired the theory of the continents shifting.

As Wegener got older, science and technology was advancing. After Wegener's death in 1930, scientists then started taking more interest in the topic of Pangaea. They would use different tools to find evidence to support this in this process. They would find plant or animal fossils going over two continents like they were connected.

Scientists Theory:

Scientists believe that Pangea broke apart for the same reason that the plates are moving today. The movement is caused by the currents that roll over in the upper zone of the mantle. The movement in the mantle causes the plates to move slowly across the surface of the Earth.

Wegener had this theory back in 1910 that the continents use to be on supercontinent called pangea. After all that, he still wondered how they drifted apart because he had no evidence. Since he had no proof, lots of people doubted him.

In 1912, Alfred Wegener proposed the idea of Pangaea, the one thing he did not have was evidence so many people thought he was crazy. Although he died in 1930, his idea lived on scientists discovered multiple pieces of evidence. One of these pieces of evidence is animal fossils. The animals that were found were called lystrosaurus these animals were found in Australia, Antarctica, India, South America, and South Africa. Another piece of evidence that there was a supercontinent is that multiple tropical  plants were found in Antarctica which shows it could have only have gotten there if the continents were together so the plants can spread throughout the supercontinent . All of the pieces of evidence  have to do with climate because even though some of these places climates have 100 degree differences, they still have fossils in common.

-Pangea was not the first supercontinent and won't be the last.

-Pangea existed in late paleozoic era and early mesozoic era.

-Pangea was constructed by other landforms 335 million years ago.

-273 million years ago you could walk from africa to south america.

-Back in pangea you could travel between the contents without using vehicles.Plants and animals could spread through contents due to this.

-The word pangea comes from to greek words pan"all" and gia "earth" which means entire earth.

-Pangea was surrounded by a ocean named panthalassa ocean.

-Pangea was formed due to the merge of two large continents Laurasia and Gondwana.

-Pangea was 20 degrees celsius hotter in the summer than now.

-Edges of our continents fit together like pieces of a puzzle when placed together.
