The name of the supercontinent that scientists believe existed millions of years ago is "Pangaea." This supercontinent is thought to have begun forming about 300 million years ago, eventually bringing together all of Earth's landmasses into a single, immense landmass. Over time, Pangaea started to break apart, leading to the formation of the continents as we know them today. This process of continental drift is a central aspect of the theory of plate tectonics.

I think that it would be a place where there were many trees and other plants. :]p

Pangaea is a "super continent." Pangaea is all seven continents together. Alfred Wegner is the person that made the continental drift theory. No one believed him until years after he died they found proof that he was right.
1. They found the same animals and plants fossils in different continents.
2. They fit perfectly together, like a puzzle.
3. Rocks on two continents look exactly alike.

No, Wegener's theory of continental drift faced significant skepticism and opposition from the scientific community during his time. Many geologists did not accept his idea, as it challenged the prevailing belief in stationary continents. It was not until several decades later, with the discovery of seafloor spreading and the development of plate tectonics theory, that Wegener's ideas gained acceptance and were validated.

Actually, Pangaea was all the continents smashed together. But, the two continents that broke apart after Pangaea was created were named "Gondwanaland" and "Laurasia".
Asked by Wiki User
Some organisms of the same species were split up by the division, which is why some fossils are similar looking, yet are across an ocean from each other.
Asked by Wiki User
The last time the Earth had a supercontinent, the dinosaurs had actually only just appeared, and by the time they took over, it was separated into multiple continents. However, the name you're looking for in Pangaea.
Asked by Wiki User
Evolution was not the cause of the breakup of Pangaea. Pangaea broke up by a process called rifting. Upwelling in Earth's mantle started to pull the conteinent apart. As the curst thinned, it led to the formation of volcanoes, which generated new crust, helping to push the continent apart. Evolution is the process by which groups of organisms change over time. While the breakup of Pangaea undoubtedly affected the course of evolution, evolution had nothing to do with causing the breakup.

Pangaea. It means "all the land" in Greek.
Asked by Wiki User
The crust of the Earth forms continental plates that move with the fluctuations of molten material under the crust. Continental plates separate and collide building mountain ranges and deep sea trenches. This phenomenon (plate techtonics) is what drives the ever changing landscape of the planet. It's what caused the break up of the original super continent.
Asked by Wiki User
The intersection of a common fossil on two different landmasses' borders allowed scientists to reconstruct Pangaea.
Asked by Wiki User
there were several groups of creatures on Pangaea. but for going the insects there where 4 major groups amphibians, anapsids diapsids and therapsids. the amphibians where remnants from the coniforus still large but not dominante on land anymore. anapsids accounted for a good chunk of life on land at this time. therapsids or so called mamal like reptials (eventualy evolved into mamals) where very common but the ones you know about are the diapsids. thees included crocidiles lizards and dinosaurs.
Asked by Wiki User
At the beginning of the Triassic period, there were no dinosaurs on Pangaea, the super continent. At the end of the period, it is not known exactly how many there were. There are about 700 named dinosaurs.

He had evidence from Climate- because fossils of plants forming in places without the ideal temperature were found and the same plants found at another place with the right temperature. Fossils- fossils of the reptiles mesosaurus and lystrosaurus found on continents separated by ocean and neither could swim that great of a distance in salt water, and Land Features- Mountain ranges in south America match up with the mountain ranges in Africa, like a jigsaw- puzzle
Hope this helps :)
Asked by Wiki User
Pangaea was a super-continent which broke up into 10 super continents. All though we are unclear of its exact configuration Rodina predates Pangaea by 800 million years. Before that, smaller continents like Atlantica and Artica were still around.

Similar plant fossils were found in different parts of the world, indicating they used to be closer.
Asked by Wiki User
The earth during the Pliocene epoch would have looked very similar to how it is today - it was roughly around 6mya. Pangea on the other hand was over 200mya.
Asked by Wiki User
When Pangaea broke up, species had to adapt to changing environments. Those species that could adapt, changed along with their habitats. Those that could not adapt died off.
Asked by Wiki User
No. Pangaea broke up long before humans evolved.
