Which era did the super continent Pangaea began to break up?
Pangaea began to break up during the Jurassic period, around 180 million years ago. This breakup eventually led to the formation of the continents as we know them today.
In which era did the super continent Pangaea break up?
Pangaea started to break up during the Triassic Period. It continued to split apart in the Jurassic Period and was almost complete in breaking up in the Cretaceous Period. After that it formed into the landmasses that we see today.
What causes a convergent boundary?
A convergent boundary is caused by the collision of two tectonic plates. When plates move towards each other, one plate is forced beneath the other in a process known as subduction, leading to the formation of mountain ranges, earthquakes, and volcanic activity.
What happened to the continents that made up pangea after it started to break up?
After Pangaea began to break up, the continents drifted apart due to plate tectonics. Over millions of years, the separated continents moved to their current positions on Earth's surface. This process resulted in the formation of the continents we recognize today.
A break in the crust?
A break in the Earth's crust is called a fault. Faults are caused by tectonic forces that create cracks in the Earth's crust where one side of the crack moves relative to the other. Earthquakes often occur along faults due to the release of built-up stress between tectonic plates.

Australia was completely free of the other land masses by 30 million years ago.
Are the rockies mountains older than pangaea continent?
No, the Rockies formed as a consequence of the break-up of Pangaea.
What caused the super continent to break up after it formed?
The breakup of the supercontinent, known as Pangaea, was primarily caused by plate tectonics. Over millions of years, the movement of Earth's lithospheric plates caused Pangaea to break apart into the continents we know today. This process, called continental drift, was driven by the convection currents in the Earth's mantle.
How did blue ridge mountain formed?
They were formed by the colliding of the tectonic plates during the break-up of the Super Continent.
