Question 5 • Earth and Space A 26-27
Pangaea was an ancient supercontinent that existed hundreds of millions of years ago, not two hundred thousand years ago. Over time, it broke apart as tectonic plates moved, forming the separate continents we know today, so the statement about splitting is true. Pangaea was surrounded by a vast ocean called Panthalassa. Columbus lived much later and did not discover Pangaea, and its coastline did not stay consistent over time.
