Pangea for Kids | Learn all about the supercontinent of long ago!
Did you know that millions of years ago, all the land on the earth was connected? Pangea for Kids explores the history of the earth. You will discover some pretty interesting facts about the planet we live on! So let's get into it. How and why doe the earth look the way it does today?
Pangea was a supercontinent, meaning that all the continents we know of today were part of the same land mass. Keep in mind, this was nearly 300 million years ago. Scientists have discovered that the continents today are like big puzzle pieces that all fit together. They realized the possibility of a supercontinent when they discovered fossils of certain dinosaurs in areas that are currently separated by oceans.
But how did the continents split? The earth is made up of several different sections called plates. These tectonic plates in the earth's crust move incredibly slowly over the mantle layer of the planet. The constant movement of the plates changed what the land looked like on the surface. Sometimes the plates bumped each other. Other times they moved apart. And they also slid side by side. Over time—millions and millions of years—the continents we know of today separated more and more.
