Hi.

We were in Science when my teacher told us about Pangea. That is when all the continents were together.

So lets start debating:

1) Do you think its true? Why?

2) Do you think all the continents will ever go together again?

3) Have you heard about this before?

4) Anything else?

Regards,

Amna! 😊

1) Do you think its true? Why?

Yes i do think this is true b/c if you look at the shapes of some of the continents they fit together like a puzzle. For ex. south america and africa look like they were attached at one time. their shapes fit together.

2) Do you think all the continents will ever go together again?

at the rate they're going it's going to take millions of years but i'm sure the continents are not always going to stay the way we see them today.

3) Have you heard about this before?

yes in social studies class.

4) Anything else?

nope, just that i'm craving some ice cream. 😆

Amna! 😊

1) Do you think its true? Why?Yes;it all could have been true because how did the hunter-gatherers travel from Europe to the Americas...they didn't have any boat technology or anything like that😕

2) Do you think all the continents will ever go together again?Well it depends I guess on the magnetic fields...but yes it still could be a possibility.

3) Have you heard about this before?No;I have never heard about this matter of it changing back...but I have heard about Pangaea.
