Question

1. engage_pangaea was not the only supercontinent to exist. in fact, there have been many supercontinents in earths history. plate tectonics helped explain how those continents eventually broke apart. look at this list of supercontinents: • rodinia • pangaea • laurasia • pannotia • vaalbara • gondwana place them in order from the earliest supercontinent to the latest supercontinent. pannotia vaalbara gondwana rodinia pangaea laurasia

Explanation:

To order the supercontinents from earliest to latest, we use geological timeframes:

1. Vaalbara (oldest, formed ~3.6 to 2.8 billion years ago).
2. Rodinia (formed ~1.1 billion years ago).
3. Pannotia (formed ~600 million years ago).
4. Pangaea (formed ~335 million years ago).
5. Gondwana (existed during Pangaea's breakup, then continued).
6. Laurasia (formed after Pangaea broke up, ~180 million years ago).

Answer:

1. Vaalbara
2. Rodinia
3. Pannotia
4. Pangaea
5. Gondwana
6. Laurasia
