-
The name Pangea means 'all lands' in Greek
-
The earth's outermost layer is split up into different pieces called tectonic plates
-
Plates are large rigid slabs of solid rock
-
The word tectonics comes from the Greek root word 'to build'
-
Pangea was one land mass until around 225 to 200 million years ago
-
The theory of tectonic plates states that the earth's crust is made of around twelve or more tectonic plates that ride on the mantle (the hot jello-like stuff underneath the crust)
