1. How were Rodinia and Pangaea similar and different from each other?
Continents are assembled into a supercontinent, only this time North America is in the middle instead of Africa. This earlier supercontinent was the Rodinia. The pangaea seemed more conected. They were both once supercontienents.
2. When did the tectonic plates appear to move the fastest? (biggest difference between two consecutive maps)
350 and 420
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 Pangaea was the same as 250 million years ago then there would be closer to other contienents so there might be much more less debt between countries. There would probably be a lot more wars going on.
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.)
750 million years ago NA because it looks the biggest so there will be a bigger population.
