Research Paper On Pangea Evolution

Pangea breaking up differently or not at all would completely adjust the world and species we see today dramatically! Evolution is a cause and effect processed which adjusts based off of genetic fitness needs and the ability to adapt and survive in a geological area. As the continents move and break apart this causes the climate to adjust the area affecting how a lineage of species will evolve or not leading to adaption or extinction. In my Pangea theory, it would have broken into two large land masses (possibly along the equator) rather than seven smaller masses. This would lead to larger and drier land masses due to moisture barriers such as larger forests and mountain ranges. This would lead to a dramatic change in the distribution of natural resources they could either be spread out more evenly a crossed the two continents or make certain things like coal and petroleum more remote to half of the planet it is difficult to tell. …show more content…
It is likely that humans and many other species would either be very different or not exist at all if their ancestors (primates) did not evolve with the specific reason that lead to their evolution in Africa. With only two land masses evolution would most likely not need to be so aggressive and so many species that evolved from these huge climate changes would simply not be needed to
