Welcome to Science 9/14 Immediately find your partner for the Reconstructing Pangaea Lab and continue working on it. You have about 20 minutes to complete the lab. Today’s Schedule 1. Conclude Pangaea Lab 2. Begin Ch. 7 Section 2 Notes/Discussion * * * On your paper, answer the following question of the day: In the Liquid Layers Lab, the coldest liquid was the most dense. In class you learned that the core is the most dense as well as hottest layer of Earth. Typically the colder a substance, the more dense it is. Why do you think the core is so hot yet is still the most dense layer. Today’s Schedule ? Of the Day Review Liquid Layers Lab Reconstructing Pangaea Lab What was Pangaea? Has the world always looked as it does today? Continents of the Past. Animation. What was Pangaea? Pangaea means ‘all land’ in Greek 245 million years ago Earth’s continents were joined together to form a supercontinent known as Pangaea. Reconstructing Pagaea Lab 1. Label the 7 continents, including Greenland and India, before cutting them out. 2. Outline the edge of each continent with a different color. 3. When you are cutting, cut as close to the edge of the continents as possible. Don’t cut out the islands. 4. Ask Questions if you are confused or need help. 5. Follow the procedure on the Lab Sheet. Evidence from Mountains Evidence from Glaciers Question of the Day Besides the shape of the continents, what other evidence shown in the map below supports the Pangaea theory? Ch. 7 Section 2 Restless Continents What do we mean when we say Restless Continents? Continental drift- theory that continents can drift apart and have done so in the past. I. Drifting Continents Why did Alfred Wegener believe in continental drift? 1. continents fit together like a puzzle 2. Fossils of the same species were found on different continents 3. evidence of rocks and climatic conditions were found on the same continents. II. Breakup of Pangaea What did Wegener infer based on his evidence? Millio
