In the early 1900s Alfred Wegener published a paper explaining his theory that the continental landmasses were “drifting” across the Earth, sometimes shooting through oceans and crashing into each other. https://padlet.com/fviggiani1/ag3ibycyaxar/wish/2027636412 - Cole]]> 2022-02-03 14:48:58 UTC https://padlet.com/fviggiani1/ag3ibycyaxar/wish/2027636412 About 300 million years ago, Earth didn't have seven continents, but instead one massive supercontinent called Pangaea, (Meaning "All Land") which was surrounded by a single ocean called Panthalassa. ariyam28_2 https://padlet.com/fviggiani1/ag3ibycyaxar/wish/2027643488 -It assembled from earlier continental units approximately 335 million years ago
- it began to break apart about 175 million years ago

Yes, ridges. It does sound weird, but actually it gives us more proof Pangaea was a thing. It makes sense too, that when Pangaea spread apart of course some pieces were left when they broke apart.
