What Did Pangaea Look like?

200 million years ago, the planet looked very different than it did now. Plate tectonics had arranged the world's continents into a single massive landmasses: Pangaea. Today I attempt to use my knowledge of geography to create a basic map of what this land might have looked like.

    ​@Fair Criticism That match was probably noticed long before Wegener. His main achievement however is coming up with a hypothesis for a physical mechanism that can explain why the plates moved. And he did that with very little data being available at the time, as in 1920s we had essentially no idea about the internal structure of our planet. In fact his ideas were so far ahead of our data collection abilities, that it took 30 years for his hypothesis to even being considered testable and then found true by geologists/seismologists. So it's quite extraordinary in this sense, and similar to how Einsteins theory of general relativity took 4 years and a solar eclipse to find positive experimental support.

    Just a little correction: “Urkontinent” doesn’t translate well to “super continent”. The prefix Ur- mostly means that something is very old or the start of something, or a stage before something else. Great grandfather in German is “Urgroßvater” as he has been there before the Großvater. In case of Urkontinent, ur- means primordial, the continent that preceded other continents, the one that is the origin of all other continents.

    The moon moves away from Earth at 4cm per year. That means 210 million years ago, the moon was 8,400km closer to Earth than it is now. Currently, the distance from the Earth to the moon is 384,400km, so the moon was only 2.2% closer during that time than it is now. The moon's orbit is also not a perfect sphere, but elliptical. At it's closest, the moon is 50,000km closer to Earth than it is at its furthest. The tides would have been bigger, but not by much.

If there were major river systems on the East coast of the continent, it would mean a lot of eroded materials would be carried from the mountain ranges to the Tethys Ocean, creating a shallower basin. Combine this with the shape of the Ocean, this could lead to much higher tides on the East coast than the West, and definitely higher than what one could get from astronomical estimation alone.

It would be a single database to which all scientists add their little pieces, and the pieces begin forming a bigger picture that can inform everyone. It would also make it easier to find discrepancies in current understanding when one theory clashes with another, sparking further study to discover the third option that clears up the discrepancy.

It's an incredible twist of fate that so many people of Scottish descent made their way to the Appalachian region and felt like they had come home, because geologically-speaking they had. You pointed out how the Highlands of Scotland and the Appalachians were a part of the same range hundreds of millions of years ago. Perhaps there was a sort of primordial sense of home in those Scots and Irish who settled here.

    Then as now, water flowed down hill. So rivers would have flowed from mountains to the sea and the size of rivers would be proportional to the area they drain. There probably would have been a major Amazon/Congo-type river system fed by the moutains that are now the Appalachian Mts. and the hills that are now on the NE Coast of South America that would flow down to the Tethys Ocean. The other ranges would probably have fed smaller systems. Lakes are much more difficult to imagine as they would depend on topographical detail that is probably not easily reconstructed today.

    In Dutch, the prefix oer, while in some cases used in reference to prehistoric times, has more the meaning of ‘original, the first one, from at the beginning’. For example, we call the big bang ‘oerknal’, because it was the first one and it was at the very beginning. And an ‘oerbos’ is an ancient forest that hasn’t been altered by humans.

    200 million years ago the rotational speed and therefore coriollis effect were not that much stronger to cause this, but if you go further back in time we may have had 5 instead of the 3 atmospheric cells we have today (Hadley, Ferell, Polar). In that case the ocean currents would also be different and you get a different patterns of humid/arid climats along the coasts. You can see a planet with another number of atmospheric cells in our solar system: Jupiter, which rotates faster has a much larger radius and features 7 bands.

    It isn't well known, but here in Maine we actually have a desert (literally called the Desert of Maine) that is said to have been formed by a large deposit of sand being dumped here by glaciers. Looking at your map it's easy to imagine glaciers cutting through Canada, picking up a bunch of sand and dropping it off as they melted here (which is also how we got our excess of ground water). Now, obviously this was 10K years ago not 200M years, and the Desert of Maine was once covered in top soil until farm mismanagement allowed it to erode away leaving just the sand, but if this map is accurate then what was left in Maine may have been actual desert sand rather than glacier silt. I would imagine it wouldn't be hard to take a core sample in Canada and see if there's any sand or compressed sandstone underground

    It's not true. They had to shrink Africa to make it fit, cut out the continents and you will see Africa dies not fit. The land is all connected, the continents are not floating. If you drained the oceans you could walk from 1 County to the other. The low places hold water, that's all. They also do not tell you they have to rotate continents in different directions to make them fit. Pangia has allways been considered a joke.

    It blew my mind after hearing how the Himalaya mountains were actually generated. Woooow. Also was very interesting to hear about the influence of the Panthalassa Ocean in creating climate in the regions. As a non-scientist I always underestimate the factor of wind (think about the Chernobyl disaster and how the wind spread the particles of radioactive elements to the western Europe) and this video explained very clearly the effects of two factors (wind and diversion of water flows). Thanks a lot for your hard work in producing this video!

    what a fantastic video & idea. As a kid i used to love prehistory but that eroded away when i realised i sucked at science, still i think the fantasy of what old environments looked like was built up especially with the dinosaur magazines and Walking with monsters series, probably made me wonder what the world look like in Pangea, since it was so huge and looked so little like modern day continents that it’d be hard to make any conclusions of similar climates

    I did some wildland firefighting with a couple geologists in the George Washington National Forest some years ago. There is some really interesting history to the Appalachian range. The valleys in the area I worked were caused by soft sandstone in the middle of the mountain back when it was young and very tall like the Colorado mountains. It wore down over time and caused the mountain to collapse such that there are hills on either side of the valley now - if you look at the direction of the layered rock on either side they both point to a common center where the peak of the mountain used to be. You live in the mausoleuic ruins of a once great mountain - how cool is that?
