Pangea began developing over 300 million years ago, making up one third of the earth’s surface. The remainder of the planet was an enormous ocean known as Panthalassa. As time goes by, scientists are beginning to piece together more information on the climate and patterns of life on the supercontinent.the center of the landmass is thought to have been arid and inhospitable, temperatures are reaching to 113 degrees. The extreme temperatures revealed by climate simulations are supported by the fact that very few fossils are found in the modern day regions that once existed in the middle of Pangea.

Pangea began developing a very long time ago. Through time and more knowledge and resources to be used, scientist have discovered more each year to why Pangea broke up and how our Earth functions and changes over time from a larger outlook on the life span of Earth. Through these discoveries, it relates to our current module because we are learning how all these changes throughout the planet develop, and why they're happening. Leading to natural disasters and how our planet is being destroyed, or just changing in itself through climate and plate movements.

Pangea was a massive continental land mass on Earth 200 Million years ago and though it was not the first, is the most recent to have existed. Pangea then separated into multiple continents because of plate tectonics. Plate tectonics which was the subject of this week's module are responsible for the continental drift that took place and will be responsible for the continents colliding together again in the far future. It is crazy to think that this is like a cycle that keeps happening and there will once again be massive continent someday.

The article talks about the supercontinent, Pangea, from over 300 million years ago that was the largest connected land mass on earth. This supercontinent is what the dinosaurs would have been walking upon, and most likely had an arid and inhospitable center. This article connects with our module’s contents because as the tectonic plates began to move, about 1-4 inches yearly, Pangea began to break apart and become the continents that we know today. As the article had talked about we may not be around long enough to see it, but 300 million years into the future we could be seeing another variation of Pangea, the Pangea Proxima.

Pangaea is the most recent super continent in earths history. It started developing over 300 million years ago and took up one third of earths surface. The split occurred about 200 million years ago and that is because magma swelled up through the cracks and hardened causing the plates to separate from each other. In about 300 million years we will see another super continent called Pangea Proxima. This article connects to our current module because we are looking and plate tectonics and how the plates move. There are many different things that the plates can do when they are moving and they are responsible for surprisingly many things. An intersting fact I learned was that the middle of Pangaea is thought to have been dry and barren, with temperatures reaching 113ºF (45ºC).

Pangea was a supercontinent that developed 300 million years ago. It took up around ⅓ of the Earth's surface, the remaining ⅔’s was a single massive ocean— Panthalassa. The center of Pangea reached 113 degrees and few fossils were found there. Mountains and oceans were all products of the tectonic plate movements as Pangea began to split apart. This article details the tectonic plate movements of Pangea, as well as how rifts (the Atlantic Ocean) and mountains (the Himilyas) are formed, all relevant information to our module. In one decade the plates only move around a foot, meaning we will not see much of a difference in our lifetime. I’m curious to see what Earth will end up looking like in millions of years!

Pangea Started over 300 million years ago that also made up one third of the earth's surface. Also Pangea was in the supercontinents in earths history, and as time passes scientists are starting to put together more information on the climate and life patterns.Also a way it connects to our current module would have to be the talks of plate movements and current disasters happening on the earth. I still can't believe how can we've come on discoveries and going more into depth on the movement and the climate changes happening with the few fossils that are found in modern day regions. 9/12/2020 07:32:06 pm
Over 300 million years ago, all the continents and countries we know today where all connected into one giant landmass called a supercontinent. This supercontinent was called Pangea. Surrounding Pangea was one big ocean called Panthalassa. This article connects to our module because it describes how the tectonic plates have moved in the past. Using the past, we can predict what the changes that will occur on Earth in the future. 9/12/2020 07:44:27 pm
Pangaea began developing long time ago *300 million). By the help of modern geology we know how and why Pangaea exist and how continents were formed. It relates to the module because right now we are learning about all the changes regarding earth and its disasters.

My biggest take away was the fact that the middle of Pangea was unlivable for many species, and in fact has the fewest fossils. This was the first time I had never heard of this information, I did not know the middle of the supercontinent had extreme unlivable weather. Another thing was how the ocean surrounding this super continent was called the Panthalassa. This article directly connect to the module because it demonstrated how the plates moved and even showed what the world would look like in 300 million years which would be Pangea Proxima. Loved the article very educating!

The super-continent Pangaea existed about 300 million years ago, and was not the first super-continent of its kind, but is the most recent one and the most studied. All of the currently separated land masses of today were once connected, leaving the rest of the space to be the super ocean Panthalassa. This is relevant to our current module because we are studying tectonic plate shifting, which is what lead to the formation and breakage of Pangaea in the first place. Further, it is what will lead to the next super-continent, far from now in the future.

The article talks about Pangaea, the last super continent in Earth's history approximately 300 million years ago. All of the continents that we know today used to be connected as one and through plate tectonics have separated about 1 foot every decade to create the continent's form that we know today. Eventually, the continental drift will bring them back together to form a new super continent: Pangaea Proxima. This is all possible because of plate tectonics which is what is being covered in our module. This movement allows the continents to slowly drift and create new landmasses. Although we won't be alive to see it, I wonder what the world will look like in 300 million years from today.

This article talked about Pangaea and how it was the very last super continent in this world that was over 300 million years ago. This continent has made up of 1/3 of the earth's surface today. This article is directly correlated to out current module because we are learning about plate tectonics and the way they shift and move.

This article discusses the presence of the super continent, Pangaea, over 300 millions years ago. This article correlates with out module this week because it has been focused on the formation and movement of plate tectonics. Plate tectonics are the cause for the movement of the continents 300 million years ago as they will be for the movement upcoming in the next 250+ million years.

This article informs you on Pangaea being the last super continent. Tectonic forces constantly reshape our earth, but we never notice this movement because they move 1-4 inches each year. The picture above this article is a perfect example of how it relates to the module we have been currently learning about. This picture shows everything being connected at one point, but we know over time it has shifted due to plate tectonics.

The article goes into the presence of the last supercontinent, Pangea, and what it's climate might've been like. Scientists theorize that the center of it had temperatures reaching 113 degrees fahrenheit and was mostly inhospitable. This article connects to the module we've been learning about as tectonic plates are what created Pangea and are slowly creating the next supercontinent.

Pangea is a massive super continent that at one time united all the continents together over 300 million years ago. Through much research and technological advances pangea was thought to be an arid climate with temperatures reaching as high as 113 degrees. This article relates to our latest module as we began to learn about tectonic plates. These continents move 1-4 inches a year and have developed into the modern world we have today.

My take away from this article is that seeing the world continents as one whole continent. Seeing how the continents connected at the beginning is really amazing. One big ocean and one big super-continent is truly an amazing way to see how our world came to be.

What I take away form this article is that by looking at the current evidence from 300 million years ago Pangea, scientist use the information that is related to our module on plate tectonics and their behaviors. It still baffles me when I think of the Pangea Proxima theory.

Pangea was the previous supercontinent on Earth, surrounded by a vast ocean, almost too large to imagine! It took hundreds of millions of years for the continents to be in the position we are familiar with today, but we can still see remnants of the way the continents used to fit together like puzzle pieces. Far into the future, super continents are predicted to form again. This article is related to our current studies due to how the tectonic plates have moved and how they move, which explains the breakup of Pangea and movements of our seven continents today. I thought it was interesting that the article says that the middle of the super continent was in hospitable at 113 degrees and that's weather we live in in the valley today! 9/13/2020 06:05:43 pm
Pangea was developed 300 million years ago and was basically an enormous continent. It took up 1/3 of the world's surface and the remainder was made up of one big ocean called Panthalassa. It was said in the article that the middle of Pangea would reach temperatures of 113 degrees. Since the temperature would be so high, there weren't many fossils that were found on present-day land that was once the middle of Pangea. This article connects directly with what we have been learning about. We have been studying how plate tectonics move and how the world has moved its way into how we recognize it today. This article did an amazing job explaining more about Pangea and the history of our world!

Pangaea was once a super continent that made up one-third of the earth's surface 300 million years ago. The ocean that surrounded Pangaea was an ocean known as Panthalassa. Over the course of millions of years, magma beneath the earth's crust swelled and broke apart the supercontinent and eventually moved to where we know the continents today. This movement of the continents is called plate tectonics, which we are currently learning about in GLG 110. The continents are still moving on Earth, and will continue to move in the foreseeable future. Learning about how plate tectonics work gives me a better understanding of why natural disasters like volcanic and seismic activity happen, which is integral to this course about earth's processes.

This article talks about pangea. The super continent that existed on Earth's surface nearly 300 million years ago. The article talks about how the land once covered 1/3 of the surface and how once the magma started to crack and the plates started to shift, the continent drifted apart into separate continents to make what now appears as our earth. This article related directly to what we have been learning about in class with plate techtonics and how plates are constantly shifting and changing.

In the article I read show how the movement of the tectonic plate has shape the past with supercontinent and continues to shape the future. During the time of the supercontinent parts of the landscape would reach high temperature which would not allow many life to thrive. The important thing to know about this article it also share how molten rock created the separation of the continents. In the things I have been learning recently has been how the forces of the plate have shape the landscape in where we live in today. One thing in which caught my eye is how in the next 250-300 million years there will be another supercontinent.

It was super interesting to have a more in depth perspective on what Pangaea was actually like. It was unlivable, had high temperatures, and things couldn’t thrive as they do in our world today. For me, that shows that everything on Earth happens for a reason. Although it may seem cool to have one large continent, it broke apart for the better. The cycle will continue in another 300 million or so years, where there will again be another supercontinent. This is very interesting because even though we may not be around, our human fossils might be used to help future paleontologists in 300 million years piece together what our world is like today. Weird thought!

Pangea was the last supercontinent on Earth and it existed between 300 and 200 million years ago. Pangea covered around a third of the world and was surrounded by the vast ocean named Panthalassa. Dinosaurs roamed the Earth while Pangea existed but would have avoided the center of the supercontinent as it would likely have been unfriendly to life. The article relates to our modules because it talks about plate tectonics, as plate tectonics are what made and unmade Pangea. It’s also interesting to think about how our world may look 300 million years in the future and if our ancestors will be there to see it. 9/13/2020 09:54:37 pm
Pangea was the last supercontinent, which existed over 300 thousand years ago. At that time, Pangea took up 1/3 of the Earth, while the remainder of Earths surface was the ocean Panthalassa.

Pangaea was a super continent. Pangaea took up 1/3 of the Earth. The superconitent was broken up into the continents we know today. It was broken up by magma entering the earths crust. This article relates to the module in every way because Earth is always moving and changing.

Pangea was a supercontinent that took one third of the Earth's surface a long time ago. It began to develop at an estimate of 300 million years ago. With that huge landmass being formed a lot of heat began to be trapped underneath the surface, this then lead to the breakage of the supercontinent into smaller continents like the ones a little similar to the ones we see today. As years went by the land masses shifted and moved around to what we now have today on our Earth's surface. 11/16/2020 02:30:48 am
Over 300 million years ago, the supercontinent Pangea was in existence, taking up 1/3 of the earth's surface. An enormous body of water, dubbed Panthalassa, covered the remaining 2/3rds of the planet. Pangea became the last supercontinent of 4 when excessive amounts of stored heat, from the mantle, were easily trapped under the vast impermeable terrain; which caused tearing in the earth's surface. As a result of continental rifting, the gigantic land mass broke apart, forming subcontinents and new ocean basins that shape the world we know today. However, geographical revision isn't finished for continents continue shifting 1ft every 10 years. Leave a Reply. |
