The current shape of continents is unlikely to be the last. Supercontinents have formed several times in Earth's past, only to be split off into new continents. Right now for example, Australia is slowly moving toward Asia, and a part of Africa is slowly drifting off from the rest of the continent.

A little paragraph from the website shonscience.com talks about how spitsbergen has helped Alfred Wegener prove his theory of continental drift.
"Fossils of warm-weather plants had been found on the island of Spitsbergen in the Arctic Ocean. Wegener explained that Spitsbergen likely "drifted" from warmer, tropical regions. ... Wegener argued that these continents were likely connected and partly covered with ice near Earth's south pole a long time ago."

Spitsbergen had a plant that could be also found in the south. It helped prove that pangea was once real.

Having one huge continent could have led to a dryer climate because the land was closed around with mountains blocking out rain and moisture.  But the ancient supercontinent near the equator must have been a lush, tropical rainforest, similar to the Amazonian jungle.

Here is a look at eleven of the biggest climate clues.

All of these climate clues show that the earth is changing in a bad way faster then you could ever imagine.

Back in the permian time about 250 million years ago, there was one supercontinent called Pangea. Then, due to climate and tectonic plate activity caused pangea to come apart.

Their was A supercontinent that was called Pangaea, existed for 100 million years but About 200 million the supercontinent began to break up. Just before Pangea started to breakup, there was a mass extinction global warming event that may have been precipitated by a massive release of basalts in what is now northern Siberia.

Alfred Wegener proposed that all of the continents were once one big continent which he named Pangea.

1. The change of rain and snow patterns
2. Changes in animal migration and life cycles
3. Less snow and ice
4. Stronger storms
5. Higher temperatures and more heat waves
6. More droughts and wildfires
7. Thawing permafrost
8. Damaged corals
9. Rising sea level
10. Warmer oceans
11. Changes in plant life cycles

There are evidence of glaciers that could have matched up when pangea was a thing. That could have meant that the glaciers could have been around in pangea, therefore, the glaciers could have proved pangea.

Scientists have created a mathematical 3D simulations to understand continental drift. The machine found out that Pangea started to break apart due to convection and tectonic plate movement. Even Though continental drift is not a good thing it is pretty cool to watch a whole supercontinent just break apart.

# data[].attributes.body
The tectonic plates are slowly moving away from each other, and if we went back 250 million years, than the continents would be slowly drifting away from pangea.

The evidence was the animal fossils and the coastlines of continents. There were animals who couldn't swim, but the fossils were found on north america and africa. Also south america and africa could fit together easily.

Alfred Wegener was the one who invented the proposal for continental movement.

-coal deposits found in the United States and Europe reveal that parts of pangea near the equator must have been a  tropical rainforest, similar to the Amazonian jungle which tells us that there was a lot of life on land
-pangea existed for 100 million years
-fossils of warm-weather plants were found in the Arctic Ocean, and many glaciers were found in places such as Africa
-the original spelling of Pangea is actually Pangaea
-pangaea formed through a gradual process spanning a few hundred million years. Beginning about 480 million years ago
-having only 1 massive piece of land would have the world end up having a very different climate cycle
