Pangea

In class this week we did an activity called "Dancing of the Continents". During this activity we cut out each continent with their mountain ranges and rock formations. Then we put each seperate continent back together, forming pangea. The "Dancing of the Continents" activity was really fun and also informative. I learned how the formation of Pangea was originally mapped and how it split apart. The theorys shown in the paper are exemplified in the maps that we drew. Each mountain valley and rock formation that was split apart from pangea, fits together perfectly when you form the continents back together. Scientists share their theories with each other and come to different conclusions of what they think the solutions are. They use their information to help each other come to a common conclusion.
