Question

Explain the relationship between plate tectonics theory and the existence of supercontinents such as Pangaea

Answer 1

Answer: It's now widely accepted that the formation of supercontinents like Pangea can be explained by plate tectonics—the scientific theory which states that Earth's surface is made up of a system of plates that float on top of a deeper plastic layer.

Explanation: The breakup of the Pangaea supercontinent. ... The explanation for Pangaea's formation ushered in the modern theory of plate tectonics, which posits that the Earth's outer shell is broken up into several plates that slide over Earth's rocky shell, the mantle

Answer 2

Pangaea was 1 huge super continent and with plate tectonics, the plates underneath the land began rubbing against each other and eventually eroded the rock and the pieces of land began to drift away from each other.
