    Pangaea

    Some people think Pangaea existed. It meant that every piece of land was at one time, (255 Million years ago) one big piece of land. So,

    DO YOU believe it?

    It's true. The world was once a super continent where dinosaurs roamed the land. Overtime continents begain drifting apart and eventually ended up like they are today.

    Eventually the continents will form a neo-pangea where the continents come together once again. That won't happen for a very very long time.

    Here's an illustration:

    Yes, I believe it is true, it is the only explanation for all of the scattered land animals and plants, plus, it has been proven that the land is moving around a couple of inches

    Yes, it explains very much, about the animals on the continents, the puzzle like fit of the continents, and more. Continents definitely shift, we might be wrong about how it moves. If that was not the case, that would leave a lot of explaining to do.

    I kind of do. I don't have much information on it though.

    Yep, I do.
    I studied this in one of my classes and it all makes sense.

    Re: Pangaea

    It seems like a reasonable explanation. We know that tectonic plates shift..

    Re: Pangaea

    Yeah, I believe in Pangaea, it makes sense to me how all of the continents seem to fit together, also with scattered species of plants, animals, fungi, etc. There is also modern day proof of the continents shifting, although it may only be inches in a year, it is happening.

    Re: Pangaea

    Yes, it's true. The recorded history of mankind is just a flash in the pan compared to geological time. The planet is billions of years old. We are rather amusing creatures when it comes to our reference of what is really old or big. We think the speed of light is fast, yet on the scale of galaxies it is slow. (100,000 light years to cross our galaxy)

    We have a very limited reference, because we die off so quickly. On a relative scale the speed of life is what's fast.
