it's even funnier to me because a while back i went on a documentary kick that started off with the ring of fire, i wanted to learn more about it after the japan earthquake + i live on a major fault line in socal,
but that expanded into some cool stuff about how they now think the grand canyon was formed and such. it's pretty amazing how much these geologists and similar can sort out these things now.
thx for the thread  |
Pangaea is the closest one or most recent one, 200 million+ years ago being close. Archeological Fossil evidence, Geological evidence in rocks, mountain ranges etc. All make it pretty easy to figure out what it looked like back then, and where land masses were.
I think that image is doing the rounds because they overlayed the current countries onto it, don't think I've seen one like that before.
I'm pretty sure we taught this during a geography lesson. I can't remember excactly, but I remember the theory.
Short video on it here:
And no worries
