2020年5月1日 · Many millions of years ago, the world was one. This nifty map shows this Pangea supercontinent overlaid with modern country borders.

Map of Earth around 85 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous. The second major phase in the break-up of Pangaea began in the Early Cretaceous (150–140 Ma), when Gondwana separated into multiple continents (Africa, South America, India, Antarctica, and Australia).

This interactive map shows Pangea. As you click the purple buttons, you can see how the continents shift forming Laurasia and Gondwana. Then the continents as we know them today.

2024年12月19日 · Pangea, in early geologic time, a supercontinent that incorporated almost all the landmasses on Earth. Pangea was surrounded by a global ocean called Panthalassa, and it was fully assembled by the Early Permian Epoch (some 299 …

The sequence of maps on this page shows how a large supercontinent known as Pangaea was fragmented into several pieces, each being part of a mobile plate of the lithosphere. These pieces were to become Earth's current continents.

2023年4月7日 · The third and final breakup of Pangaea, which began in the early Cenozoic period, shaped the map of the world as we all know it today. This phase witnessed the splitting apart of Laurasia into Laurentia (containing North America and Greenland ) and Eurasia.

2017年6月27日 · It is interesting to know what the political map of the world would look like if Pangea had not broken up into several continents. Below is an interactive globe of Pangea with current international borders created by Vibor Cipan.

The Pangea map shows the equator to be at the center of the landmass and surrounded by a superocean, Panthalassa. Continental drift is the leading theory to explain the formation and ending of Pangea. Tectonic plates on the earth’s surface, or lithosphere, cause a gradual shifting of land over time.

2023年3月3日 · It shows Pangaea, a supercontinent that existed from 300 million to 175 million years ago, with modern international borders. Needless to say it would make international relations a little bit more complicated. Major changes include: The United States now borders a few new countries including Morocco, Mauritania, Senegal and Cuba.
