Piecing+Together+Pangea

​ __PIECING TOGETHER PANGEA__

​ Purpose: To use various pieces of evidence to recontruct the supercontinent pangea.

Analyze:

1) South America and Africa because you can connect the pieces easly with the fossils.

2) The fossils and the folded mountains

3)a) Yes, Madagascar and Greenland were hard to piece together because they didn't have too much information about where it should be placed. b) The matching folded mountains and the fossils

Conclude and Apply:  1) Firstly, I looked at the Pangaea pieces and pictured them as puzzle pieces. Secondly, I examined the pieces to see if the shapes of the continents matched. Then, I saw that some continents had fossils paths on them which lined up together, so I connected them together. Then I saw that Europe, North America and Greenland and the top of Africa had matching folded mountains so I lined them up together. B) Alfred examined the fossils and structure of the countries to see if there was evidence of Pangaea just as I did.  2)    We use several pieces of evidence because need to be extra sure that your connecting the right country with the right country.  3)   The continents in 200 million years might actually be connected again but maybe in a different way for example, Australia might be connected with Canada. B) The climate of BC might become hotter or colder depending on how far it is from the equator, plants may die and new plants may grow because of the change in climate, and might see new geological structures such as mountains form.
