. . .Pangaea. . .

1. How were Rodinia and Pangaea similar and different from each other?
~ AFter looking at the pictures of Rodinia and Pangaea you can clearly see the difference. In Panaea everything is together to make one big super continent. In Rodinia they are close together but they aren't all together.
2. When did the tectonic plates appear to move the fastest? (biggest difference between two consecutive maps
~ The biggest difference after looking at the maps were between 080 and 150.
3. Look at Pangaea (250 million years ago). If the continents looked like Pangaea today, what would the world be like? Think about governments, sports teams and leagues, and other aspects of life.
~ If the continents were together like they were now then I think things would be worst. There would be many wars of people trying to fight over land. It isnt like the people would be able to just go to another country because really there wouldnt be another one. Or things could just go how there are now. But instead of being like different countries they could act as countries.
4. Look at Pangaea. If you could pick any place in Pangaea to start a modern civilization, where would you pick? Why? (there is a key on the bottom of the page that explains what the little letters in the maps stand for. For example, "ar" means Arabia.)
~ I would choose Siberian Craton. I would choose this place to live because even through the whole Pangaea process that place stay seperated from the super continent. And I would kind of like the seclusion from everyone else.
