Pangaea is not the only supercontinent ever several supercontinents have broken up over the past 3.5 billion years.}

- More than a century ago, the scientist Alfred Wegener proposed the notion of an ancient supercontinent, which he named Pangaea
- Coal deposits found in Pennsylvania have a similar composition to those spanning across Poland, Great Britain and Germany from the same time period
- In the fossil record, identical plants, such as the extinct seed fern Glossopteris, are found on now widely disparate continents.

The reason for this formation is the theory of Plate Tectonics, Which shows how the earths outer shell is broken up into different plates that slide over earths shell.

The result of churning and circulation in the earths mantle, which makes up the planets volume. ]]> 2022-02-03 15:56:29 UTC https://padlet.com/fviggiani1/q9e8xxhf4sah/wish/2027789098 https://padlet.com/fviggiani1/q9e8xxhf4sah/wish/2027800909 Born on november 1st 1880. Alfred was a german scientist who lived in berlin. He came up with a theory that the continents were moving and that once they were together like a puzzle. No one believed  this theory at the time because he had no evidence. It was only till after his death they found out that he was right. Alfred live for 50 years and died in 1930 in november. He was trying to build a pyramid in ice and snow and they found his dead body in the snow and that is why no one knows on what day he died.

Alfred had three kids named Hanna Charlotte wegner. Another of his kids were Hilde wegner and his last one was named Sophie Kate wegener. These were his kids and his wife was named Else Koppen Wegener. ]]> 2022-02-03 16:11:29 UTC https://padlet.com/fviggiani1/q9e8xxhf4sah/wish/2027825846 kellym281_1 https://padlet.com/fviggiani1/q9e8xxhf4sah/wish/2027842605 Scientists have created 3D simulations to better understand continental drift. In the article Geoscience Frontiers it shows simulations on large-scale contient drifts from 200 million years ago. It shows how tectonic plate motion and mantle convection work together to move land masses. This is what happened to Pangaea when its mass insulated the mantle underneath causing mantle flows that caused the breakup of Pangaea. ]]> 2022-02-03 16:19:01 UTC https://padlet.com/fviggiani1/q9e8xxhf4sah/wish/2027842605 https://padlet.com/fviggiani1/q9e8xxhf4sah/wish/2027845588 Now i'm going to talk about his childhood. Alfred Wegener's dad ran a orphanage. Alfred always had always been interested in greenland. So he hiked walked and skated in training expectations and he started to study Germany and australia and then he got a Pdh in psychology astronomy.https://www.bbvaopenmind.com/en/science/leading-figures/alfred-wegener-theory-of-continental-drift/  ]]> 2022-02-03 16:20:19 UTC https://padlet.com/fviggiani1/q9e8xxhf4sah/wish/2027845588 https://padlet.com/fviggiani1/q9e8xxhf4sah/wish/2033645587 this is a video of alfred wegener]]> 2022-02-07 17:26:15 UTC https://padlet.com/fviggiani1/q9e8xxhf4sah/wish/2033645587 https://padlet.com/fviggiani1/q9e8xxhf4sah/wish/2033645881 about thirty million years ago earth was all one supercontinent called pangea and was surrounded by one ocean called panthalassa the reason for pangea's formation was plate tectonics which posits that the earth's outer shell is broken into several plates that slide of the mantle in the earth's rocky shell. Over the course of the planets 3.5 billion year history several other supercontinents have formed and changed and broken up which is caused by the churning and circulation of the earths mantle and which makes up most of the planets volume the changes in supercontinents has dramatically altered the worlds history  ]]> 2022-02-07 17:26:22 UTC https://padlet.com/fviggiani1/q9e8xxhf4sah/wish/2033645881 theodorew28_2 https://padlet.com/fviggiani1/q9e8xxhf4sah/wish/2033655026 Most scientist believe that Pangaea would have been very dry. For example in the text it says, "For instance, the interior of the continent may have been utterly dry, as it was locked behind massive mountain chains that blocked all moisture or rainfall" (Murphy 1). But people found coal deposits in the United States and Europe. These coal despotes show that Pangaea was actually lush, tropical rainforest like the amazon. ]]> 2022-02-07 17:30:08 UTC https://padlet.com/fviggiani1/q9e8xxhf4sah/wish/2033655026 https://padlet.com/fviggiani1/q9e8xxhf4sah/wish/2033657697 Germany]]> 2022-02-07 17:31:13 UTC https://padlet.com/fviggiani1/q9e8xxhf4sah/wish/2033657697 https://padlet.com/fviggiani1/q9e8xxhf4sah/wish/2033658931 this is greenland]]> 2022-02-07 17:31:44 UTC https://padlet.com/fviggiani1/q9e8xxhf4sah/wish/2033658931 https://padlet.com/fviggiani1/q9e8xxhf4sah/wish/2033676508 https://www.famousscientists.org/alfred-wegener/

For instance is inching towards asia, and the eastern part of africa is slowly coming off of the rest of the continent. In 300-400 million years geologists predict that there will be another supercontinent that will form. Many scientists believe that the supercontinent cycle is largely driven by circulation dynamics in the mantle. Heat formed in the mantle likely comes from radioactive decay of unstable elements, like uranium scientists don't agree on whether there are mini pockets of heat flow in the mantle, or if the entire shell is one big conveyor belt. ]]> 2022-02-07 17:55:00 UTC https://padlet.com/fviggiani1/q9e8xxhf4sah/wish/2033715087
