How did ancient geography divide the world?

Pangaea or Pangea (derived from Παγγαία, Greek meaning 'all earth') is the supercontinent that existed during the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras about 250 million years ago, before each of the component continents were separated into their current configuration.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Pangaea_continents.pngPangaea is believed to have been a C-shaped landmass that spread across the equator. The body of water that was believed to have been enclosed within the resulting crescent has been named the Tethys Sea. Owing to Pangaea's massive size, the inland regions appear to have been very dry, due to the lack of precipitation. The large supercontinent would potentially have allowed terrestrial animals to migrate freely all the way from the South Pole to the North Pole. The vast ocean that once surrounded the supercontinent of Pangaea has been named Panthalassa. Pangaea is believed to have broken up about 180 million years ago (mya) in the Jurassic Period, first into two supercontinents (Gondwana to the south and Laurasia to the north), thereafter into the continents as we understand them today.

What was Wegener's hypothesis about Earths continents have moved?

He thought that 300 million years ago, there was a supercontinent named Pangaea(There are many ways to spell this word) and it contained today's seven continents. A lot of scientists rejected his hypothesis because it contradicted their idea how mountains formed(A long time ago, they thought that Earth was slowly shrinking). He used fossils, land features, and ancient climatic zones to prove his idea, but the idea was never accepted until today.


What name do you use for the presumed original single supercontinent postulated in plate tectonics?

all of the continents were once one super-continent called pangea.


When was fungi found?

By 300 million years ago, all forms of fungi existed, but earlier records are a bit sketchy. Nevertheless, there are some undisputed fossils of fungi from around 400-440 million years ago. Also, many of the earliest plant fossils show the presence of mycorrhizae. Although the origin of fungi is a mystery, most biologists assume that the fungi evolved from protists. Moreover, most assume that fungi probably existed as early as the terrestrial environment was first colonized by life: "From their inception, terrestrial communities have depended on (fungi)". Probably, fungi moved with plants from the aquatic habitat.

What is it called when the continents once formed a huge supercontinent?

Many million years ago, the huge supercontinent theory was proposed by one man named Alfred Wegner. He explained the theory of continental drift which lead to the supercontinent called Pangea. Another man named John Tuzo Wilson proposed to theory of plate tectonics which helped scientists to believe Wegner's ideas. Together Wilson and Wegner proposed Pangea. Later on, it was split into two other smaller continents called Laurasia and Gondwanaland.

Who made the first tools?

Homo habilis ("Handy man"), one of our distant predecessors was so named because of his use of primitive tools. Habilis existed between 2.4 and 1.5 million years ago.


Is it true that 220 million years there was only one large continent named Pangaea and one large ocean named Panthalassa?

It is unspecified by scientists, though they have theorized that Pangaea could have been a possibility, due to the fact that the continents are always moving. Plus, if there only was one continent, then the oceans would all collect together, forming a superocean in addition to the supercontinent of Pangaea.
