Introduction
● Earth 4.54 million years old
● Pangea 248 to 65 million
years old
● Pangea, a big “clump” of
continents
Pangea Split into Today’s World
● Split about 200 million
years ago
● First split into Laurasia and
Gondwanaland
● Laurasia split into Northern
Hemisphere, Gondwanaland
into Southern Hemisphere
A.W. Figured Out How Earth
Evolved from Pangea
● Alfred Wegener - 1912
● Borders of continents fit
like puzzle
● Fossils followed theory
● Continental Drift Theory
Continents will Continue to Change
● Smashing continents 250
million years in the future
● Different shape from
Pangea
● Called Pangea Ultima
Conclusion
Pangea has shifted and turned into the continents you know
today. It is amazing how much Earth has changed over time. If
you were able to go back in time and see what Earth looked like
back then, you would be amazed.
