Blog post #3

1. How were Rodinia and Pangaea similar and different from each other?
-Pangaea had all the continents conected, and Rodinia didn't have all the continents conected.

2. When did the tectonic plates appear to move the fastest? (biggest difference between two consecutive maps)
-The breakup of pangaea from 700 to 750.

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.
-I think there would be more chaos then there is already, mainly because if we can't play nice now, and we're hundreds of miles apart. Why do you think that we'd get along better all the same continent together. I also think that there would be one gigantic force, like, one nation or group bigger than china today.

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.)
-SA, South American, because it would have all the benefits of having a giant coastline, and they also have a major chunk of inland boundaries.
