Brief Explanations

These are key lines of evidence used to support the existence of the Mesozoic supercontinent Pangaea:

  1. The complementary shapes of continents are a foundational visual clue.
  2. Matching rock layers across separate continents indicate they were once connected.
  3. Corresponding fossil layers of the same species on now-distant continents show they lived in a single connected landmass.

  • Rock layers on some of the continents match up.
  • Fossil layers on some of the continents match up.
