Question

Do you agree that the continents came from a supercontinent? Why?

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Because

The supercontinent called Pangaea began to break apart about 200 million years ago, during the Early Jurassic Epoch (201 million to 174 million years ago), eventually forming the modern continents and the Atlantic and Indian oceans.

Answer 2

Yes, continents came from a supercontinent.

• Supercontinents are large masses comprising all the continental plates.
• During the Paleozoic era, it is believed that the supercontinent Pangaea existed surrounded by oceanic plates. The ocean is named Panthalassa.
• Over the years due to continental drift and tectonic movements, Pangaea broke into two supercontinents Laurasia and Gondwana.
• Gondwana further broke to form the African, South American, Australian, and Antarctican continental plates.
• Laurasia formed the Eurasian and North American plates.
