Pangaea Theory

Decent Essays
Hi i'm Alfred Wegener, I am not crazy, my theory makes sense. I will prove it. I have four proofs to support my theories. One of my reasons, is this world is a puzzle, the 7 continents all fit together perfectly, my next theory of pangaea is fossils, then my explanation on mountains, and then i will prove my theory of ice sheets. These are the four reasons why pangaea is real. 300 million years ago there was only one super continent it was called pangaea. 200 million years ago pangaea started to break up, the pieces drifter apart to their current position.

My first proof I will be explaining is jigsaw fit. This makes sense because south america and africa fit well together. And europe and north america fit well together also it's a jigsaw puzzle, that is only one of my reasons. My other proof is fossils, i found Mesosaurus bones both in south africa and eastern south america and i don't think they would swim that far.si i believe the fossils can only exist in both places only if the continents were once joined together. My third reason pangaea did happened, is mountains. The same mountains same age and structure are on both sides of the atlantic ocean, one part of the mountains in the eastern united states and canada, and the other half northern british isles and europe. My last theory is ice sheets. Ice sheets are in parts of southern africa, india, australia, and southern america. Pangaea would be the only reasonable answer, how would there be ice sheets in places so cold today, if it wasn't for pangaea

    Antler Orogeny Model

    • 718 Words

    The Antler orogeny occurred in the Mississippian passive margin of the sialic North American continent in Nevada and probably in Idaho (Speed and Sleep, 1982). Speed and Sleep (1982) proposed an Arc-continent collision model for the Antler orogeny. In their model they assume that The Roberts Mountain Allochthon formed as a result of the large accretionary prism underthrusted by the continental slope and outershelf. The vertical loading and downflexing of the continental shelf by the allochthon formed the Antler foreland basin. Speed and Sleep (1982) advocated that the Island arc collision model is matched with regional geologic characteristics of the orogeny, and answers the question, how the oceanic strata can thrust about 4 km.…

    Jared Diamond in his book Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies has gone repeatedly explaining many reasons as to why places like Eurasia and New Guinea developed so differently. The argument of chapter ten is that the shape and major axes of continents affect the distribution of crops and domesticated animals. The continents that Diamond uses is Africa, the Americas, and Eurasia. With Africa and the Americas both have their major axis that are longitude (north to south) while Eurasia has a major axis that is latitude (east to west). The Fertile Crescent is one of the places where people first domesticating plants and animals.…

    Pangea! It was the supercontinent that existed about 300 million years ago. According to Alfred Wegener’s theory, long before us humans existed all of the continents used to be one large landmass. Who is Alfred Wegener you might ask? Alfred Wegener was a German polar researcher, geophysicist, and meteorologist born in Berlin on November 1, 1880.…

    When we visited the Field Museum in Chicago, we saw some incredible things. Even though we were only in one section of the museum, the “Evolving Planet,” we were still flooded with information and exhibits. Fossils of every type of living thing for the past billion years were at the museum. We saw fossils of almost every species of dinosaur, plant, mammal, and even some of the earliest humans. Despite all of these displays, the one that stood out the most was Sue, the best preserved Tyrannosaurus rex fossil ever found.…

    Missoula Flood’s Course and Cause 4.) When ice covered almost all of North America, known as the ice age, water began to build up against a 2,500ft ice dam. Soon, when the water presure was at it’s highest, at 2,000ft in dept, the ice broke. This resulted in a catastrphic flood he size of Lake Erie and Onterio combined! The water swept over Eastern Washington moving from 30 to 50 mph.…

    This period was estimated to have been between 200 to 145 million years ago. During this period the climate on Earth had drastically changed from really dry to humid and even subtropical. Pangea kept separating, and one half of it, Laurasia, broke up into North America and Eurasia. Godwanda started to break up during the mid-Jurassic. Due to this break-up, more new oceans flooded the spaces in between the new lands.…

    Why are humans not originally from North America? The reason is because their was no land connection from Asia to America at the time. Another thing is that the people living in Asia probably had no idea that North America existed. This ment that they had no desire to go move across and live there. Finally, back then they probably had no clue how to build a boat to travel that far, so even if they did know North America was there their was once again their was no way of getting over there.…

    Daily Life Of The Aztecs

    • 1270 Words
    • 6 Pages

    Daily Life of the Aztecs was an incredibly insightful and educational source of information regarding all aspects of Aztec life. One thing I found to be especially intriguing was how many similarities there are between the current day traditions of many different cultures and the traditions the Aztecs used to observe. Understandably, there are some major differences too, but the fact that we can still find ways to relate to people who lived centuries before us is pretty extraordinary. Before we discuss the daily lives and traditions of the Aztecs, it’s helpful to first find out where they came from. During the 13th and 14th centuries the Mexica, who we now know as the Aztecs, migrated to the Basin of Mexico (Carrasco, pg 19), but until…

    The topic of this discussion is to explain why Africa and South America are moving apart. The drifting apart of Africa and South America has to do with the theory known as the theory of plate tectonics. Based on this model, the crust the coolest part of the mantle, make up Earth’s strong outer layer, known as the lithosphere. Right beneath the lithosphere is the asthenosphere, the hottest part of the mantle. Rocks at this depth are very near the melting temperature, and respond to forces by flowing similarly to the way a thick liquid would.…

    Until 11,700 years ago our earth had been in the Pleistocene Epoch, incorporating an evolutionary surge that lead to Homo Habilis, who lived from about 2.1 to 1.5 million years ago(2). By the peak of this duration the global temperatures on earth dropped by about 5oC, plunging the entire planet into an ice age, creating vast glaciers miles deep that expanded across limitless amounts of land, locking hordes of water into impenetrable sheets of ice. However, this gave a few species on earth a fierce advantage, for the glaciers had taken so much water from the oceans that it managed to drive the sea level 450 feet below that of today's. This unbelievable event altered so much of the earth’s surface that it created masses known as land bridges,…

    To begin with, 65 million years ago was the start of the Paleocene epoch that was the establishment of the tertiary period on earth. Due to the extinction of the dinosaurs during the previous period, there was a heap amount of mammals accumulating and evolving from their original size and aspects. Many forms of animals existed big, small, and of many different sizes; rapidly increasing in numbers by reproduction. In this epoch, carnivores were very large in numbers. For example, a bird that was one of the top predators during this time was the Phorusrhacids known as flightless birds or terror birds.…

    Humans did not originate in North and South America. Humans actually originated in Asia and Africa. Humans came to the Americas by crossing a ‘land bridge’.
