download Pangaea review
How can we study Social Studies? First, we need to see the world as a "whole"
and then begin to break it down into 'specialized' areas of study such as World History and American History.
When was the world physically "whole"?-According to some scientists, the world was once "one"
or a "whole". This theory refers to when all 7 continents were connected only to gradually separate.
The word used to explain the once "oneness" of the world is PANGAEA.
Questions to ponder about Pangaea-
*How can people survive if they are part of one continent?
(a super-continent)
*What would happen if there were only one ocean?
["Panthalassa" is
Greek for "all seas"]
*Who would be most affected if the world was one? How? Why? (Explain)
*Would there be peace or more war and to what extent on Pangaea?
*Would humans divide themselves or separate
themselves from one another? Why?
*Think of the problems the world faces today (i.e. in 2009). Would
the same problems exist or cease to exist? Explain.
