2. Cut out the continents from the Continent Map. Try to arrange them on construction paper as one large landmass based on their shapes, but do not glue them yet. Your constructed supercontinent is a model that will change as new information becomes clear. Take a picture of your arrangement of the continents just based on their shapes. Add your picture to your assignment and write a caption for it.

Answer:

The Earth’s crust is not a solid shell. It is made up of thick, interconnecting pieces

called tectonic plates that fit together like a puzzle. They move atop the underlying mantle, a really thick layer of hot flowing rock.

By examining evidence such as similar rock layers in various places, fossilized desert

belts, the distribution of fossils, and the physical shapes of continents, scientists

have concluded that the Earth’s continents were once all connected to form a

“supercontinent” called Pangaea that was surrounded by an enormous ocean. In

this activity, students will use the different kinds of evidence to reconstruct how

the Earth may have looked approximately 220 million years ago.
