Se cree que la forma original de Pangea era una masa de tierra con forma de "C" distribuida a través del Ecuador. Ya que el tamaño masivo de Pangea era muy amplio, las regiones internas de tierra debieron ser muy secas debido a la falta de precipitación. El gran supercontinente habría permitido que los animales terrestres emigraran libremente desde el Polo Sur al Polo Norte. Al extenso océano que una vez rodeó al supercontinente de Pangea se le ha denominado Pantalasa (Panthalassa).
Se estima que Pangea se formó a finales del período Pérmico (hace aproximadamente 300 millones de años) cuando los continentes, que antes estaban separados, se unieron formando un sólo supercontinente rodeado por un único mar.
Pangea habría comenzado a fragmentarse entre finales del Triásico y comienzos del Jurásico (hace aproximadamente 200 millones de años), producto de los cambios y movimientos de las placas tectónicas. El proceso de fragmentación de este supercontinente condujo primero a dos continentes, Gondwana al sur y Laurasia al norte, separados por un mar circumecuatorial (mar de Tetis) y posteriormente a los continentes que conocemos hoy. Dicho proceso geológico de desplazamiento de las masas continentales (deriva continental) se mantiene en marcha al día de hoy.

OK, I admit, I can understand most of it, but it's boring. Even science class (last year) was more interesting and we had to copy the characteristics of Pangea, Rodinia, and the continents today.
Now about wizard 101, my subscription expired, and I just beat big ben! Lucky for me I had access passes through a quarter of krok, so I got Abigail in to the palace of fire. Almost a level 18! (sorry if I was ranting)
That's about it so...
BYE!
Pangea (Pangea) was the supercontinent formed by the union of all continents today is believed that existed during the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras, before the continents that comprised it were separated by tectonic plate movement and shape its current configuration . This name was apparently first used by the German Alfred Wegener, chief author of the theory of continental drift in 1912. It comes from the Greek prefix "pan" meaning "all" and the Greek word "gea" "soil" or "earth" (Γαῖα Gaia Γαῖη Γῆ Gaie or GE). Thus, would a word whose meaning is "whole earth".
ReplyDeleteIt is believed that the original form of Pangea was a land mass with a "C" distributed through Ecuador. Since the massive size of Pangea was very broad, the inner regions of land had to be very dry due to lack of precipitation. The large supercontinent would have allowed terrestrial animals to migrate freely from the South Pole to the North Pole. In extensive ocean that once surrounded the supercontinent of Pangea has been called Panthalassic (Panthalassa).
It is estimated that Pangea was formed in the late Permian period (about 300 million years ago) when the continents, which were previously separate, joined to form a single supercontinent surrounded by a single Tues
Pangea had begun to fragment from the late Triassic and early Jurassic (makes about 200 million years), the product of changes and movements of tectonic plates. The process of fragmentation of this supercontinent led first to two continents, Laurasia and Gondwana in the south to the north, separated by a sea circumecuatorial (Tethys) and then to the continents we know today. The geological process of displacement of land masses (continental drift) is maintained up to today.
That's what it is in English according to Google Translate.
