F1: Were all the continents ever connected as one?

1. Josh Hill - http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2009/02/were-antarctica.html . Info from this site was all from John Goodge, a NSF-funded researcher with the Department of Geological Sciences at the University of Minnesota-Duluth.


2. John Goodge was educated at University of California, Los Angeles for a Ph.D., University of Montana, Missoula for a M.S. and Carleton College, Northfield, Minnesota for a B.A. (Honors). He does research on geology interests and now is a professor of five courses at the University of Minnesota.


3. He goes out to different countries researching different geological questions he and others have. He runs tests on land and other things.


4. The shifting of the continents has caused us to believe that all continents were connected at once. It was called Pangaea and Rodinia at that time.

5. Yes. Because when you look at some continents they look like they fit together.




1. Alfred Wegener - http://waynesword.palomar.edu/cntdrift.htm .

2. Alfred Wegener was a climatologist and geophysicist that published a book in 1915 called The Origin of Continents and Oceans. He got his PH.D in astronomy at the University of Berlin.

3. He was the first scientist to come up with this theory.

4. There was there was a continental drift and plate tonics that " float " causing the continents to separate.

5. Yes. Because due to natural disasters and science theories it is possible for this to happen.

2. She is a teacher at Wentworth Intermediate School in Maine.

3. She studied this theory.

4. We know that it is possible because the same fossils, and other land particles were found on other continents. It is believed that years ago animals would walk from continent to continent.

5. Yes.

I belive it because there ar so many sources of evidence that leads to a great explination to this question.
