∙ 13y agoFossils of tropical plants had been found on polar continents. The only way these plants could have possibly grown is if the continent had once been closer to the equator.

What showed proof for Alfred Wegener on Pangaea?
We know Pangaea existed because of fossil evidence. There were fossils of the same animal found on Africa and South America. This animal couldn't have possibly swam across the ocean. Therefore, making the idea of Pangaea plausible.
What is the location of landforms in Silurian times?
they were in astate of Pangaea so they were very spread out due to simalr climate
What does a pangaea look like?
Go to google and search Pangaea
What is the Pangaea theory?
The Pangaea theory is one that states that all present continents were once together and collectively known as a 'supercontinent' called a Pangaea. The word 'Pangaea' means 'all lands' in Greek, accurately defining the way the continents were 200 millions years ago before it split up. These split-up pieces drifted slowly apart and became the way they are today. Even until now, the shape of the Earth surface is still changing, and it will be forever, as long as the mantle underneath the Earth's crust gets heated and convection currents in the magma keeps dragging the plates.The Pangaea theory was treated with much skepticsm when it was first raised. But since then, there have been much evidence to support this theory.The Pangaea theory is the theory that once all the continents consisted of one large super-continent called Pangaea and that there was one massive ocean called the Panthalassa Ocean.
What does computer modeling show about the breakup of Pangaea?
It shows that Pangaea was a long continent that crossed the equator. Asia & North America then split from the other continent. Antarctica split off the rest.
What evidence supports the idea of pangaea?
Fossil records, land forms(mountains,ect), weather and climate
What was the climate for Pangaea?
Turtles
What forms of evidence were used to help gather evidence for the existence of pangaea?
Plate tectonics led to the theory of Pangaea.
What was the climate center of pangaea?
warm
Name two types of evidence for continental drift and give examples of each type?
Plate tectonics and Pangaea you get evidence from ancient climate zones, land features, and fossils
What is the climatological evidence for Pangaea's existence?
Egghead Egghead
What evidence prove that Pangaea didn't existed?
You can't prove a negative with direct evidence.
What forms of science were used to help gather evidence for the existence of Pangaea?
Plate tectonics led to the theory of Pangaea.
Does the climate prove that Pangaea is real?
Actually, no. "Pangaea" was found by Alfred Wegener through the fossils of animals found in different continents.
When did alfred wegener discover pangaea?
in 1915 wegener figuered out about Pangaea because of three things climate change fossils and land features
What evidence may be called to prove that there once existed a super continent called Pangaea?
there was evidence of Pangaea because south America and Africa fit together as a puzzle and there are two of the same fossils are found in that continent
What evidence that supports the existence of pangaea?
There definitively was a Pangaea. Pangaea implies one continent. Back when the earth was forming, there was no oceans, thus the whole earth would be referred to as Pangaea. Today continents would refer to how much land is above the ocean.
