What If Pangea Never Broke Apart?

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Millions of years ago, the Earth looked very different. A huge landmass, called Pangea, covered about a third of our planet. But about 175 million years ago, the Earth broke apart into continents, and formed the world we know today. But what if that had never happened? Where would your country be located? And how different would your life be? Thumbnail credit: Ian Webster With your support we can make our show better!

The very existence of Pangea is a mystery? An anomaly that has never been explained. The Earth is by and large a molten body. Viscous. If there were hands big enough to hold it they could knead it like Plasticine. The crust is solid of course but compared to the rest of the mass it is like skin on a custard. With me so far! Why would all that extra mass be formed on one side! In normal circumstances one would expect -Hawaii- sized lumps to be scattered where there were plate weaknesses but why would all crust coalesce on one side? This is the anomaly. the Paradox if you like. For this to happen and the land mass to be sustained in locale for millions or even billions of years there must have been an outside influence, a mass very close by. Close enough for both worlds to be facing each other as the moon does to earth now! This suggests the object would be roughly the distance of modern geostationary Satellites. Only the Gravitational influence of a very massive and very close planet could have caused Pangea to exist? Just conjecture I know but the only candidate is this mysterious world that collided with Earth to create the Moon? If the two worlds orbited each other like twin planets then the existence of Earths strong magnetic field and the proximity of the other planet would surly make the Orbits unstable as the magnetism out pulled the force of gravity. The two worlds edged closer and closer until.
Could this world that hit us be Mars? Would explain why both worlds rotate so quickly? And in similar periods. Would explain where Mars water went? The collision if it happened was devastating on Earth, for Mars it would have been so much worse. Its Atmosphere. its crust. Its oceans. all ripped off by the Earth being much more massive. Would also explain why there is fossil magnetism in the Martian crust and yet no magnetic core? Again, all conjecture but it begins to add up. How else could Pangea have existed. A land mass about the same in diameter as. Mars?

It would go one of two ways, the world would be more unified because cultures throughout history were closer and could share ideas and they were closer so they could see and talk to each other more and not be freaked out by the difference in appearances (there probably wouldn-t be as many anyway) and countries and cultures that we never could imagine would exist and they-d -have- to cooperate with each other or humankind would fight to the brink of extinction
Or we would fight and everyone would die before the modern day

I don't care about the whole world, except malayali.
They would loose their identity if there was no qerala.
Imagine a Mallu without.
No pink coloured Mundu with flowers
No goconut oil
No goconut neer
No Palm neera
No Chaaya corner
No oneon semosa
No Thubai flights
No oolume of people
No CPI
No union
No nurse jobs
No karimeen
No ayila
No matti
.
All a mallu would do is ZIMBLY, JEMP herring POPE music in CHERCH Or MAASQue. ---

It would probably have greatly impacted human development. Humans would be more war like not less. Kumbaya is all well and good but the simple fact is, under the majority of circumstances and without enough things in common like language, religion, race, culture, and other things, the human race would absolutely slice their neighbors throat for what they have. It-s not pretty but such is what psychology, sociology, and history trend towards when you look at us.
reply

It'd probably be boring, as everyone would be the same race, live along the coastlines, and one emperor would eventually conquer the entire landmass without any oceans to seperate cultures apart. You can look at any large country in the past and see the same thing play out.
reply

Some people say that Pangaea was never a thing, but if you look at Africa and South America, you-ll notice that there-s a point where the whole side of both continents look like they were come together perfectly and this gives proof that Pangaea existed
reply

Pangea didn-t -break apart- or cover a third of our planet; Earth grew in size, seas expanded into oceans and things changed over time due to the expansion of Earth. Earth is still expanding today, hence the changing climate, ocean levels, etc
reply

Fun fact all the continents ever since Pangaea broke apart, have came back together several times, but this happens every couple millions of years but it will never happen again. We will be long gone by then and earth will be gone by then.
reply

I thought this was going to go into where the asteroid hit, whether it would have caused the same devastation for ex/ if it hit the ocean insteas of land? There's no dust to block out the sun does that affect anything?
reply

This is off-topic, in the word of BSG (Battlestar Glactica, the planet Caprica could possibly based on a Pangea basis, Adam indicated a possible clue that there was minimal wildlife on Caprica compared to Earth.
reply

We would be in dire trouble if we still lived in pangea. Humans dont learn to be 100% peaceful, we always find a way for conflict. Its just human nature and its more human than people like to admit.
reply

Is Pangea even real tho? hear me out
All the Ocean is is just really deep trenches, on the bottom of the ocean is dry land and the continents aren't lilypads.

reply

Bro, it's good that Pangea broke apart separating Australian wildlife with the rest of the world, can't imagine living with humongous spiders and other bugs
reply

If Pangea never broke apart, will there still be multiple races and cultural differences? How would countries be formed? How does one define land borders?

When you wake up in LA and get stuck in traffic on the obama martin luther king jr memorial 30 lane superhighway your way to your job in zimbabwe.
reply

Notice how Africa was mentioned the only time war was brought up. That's very terrible of you guys. Not going to watch a single video from you again.
reply

From Ice Age: Continental Drift, Scrat has broke Pangea forming continents, North America, South America, Africa, Australia and Eurasia.
reply

We still only have one major land mass. Yes Pangaea broke apart but all the continents are still connected and we only have one ocean.
reply

That-s the whole thing, if Pangea stayed the same all the countries would be different sizes and have different borders and inhabitants
reply

Imagine if that happened people would start calling peoples nation -The Northerners, The Easterners, The Westerns, The Southerners
reply

Im wondering if we travel to the center of pangea, will the sky still be blue. Cuz the sky reflects the ocean
reply

Pangea was covered with tall mountains and vast deserts, i don't think we would be any different from today's world.
reply

It could be fun with a speculative video about how life would look like today, if Pangea never broke apart.
reply

It'd be a lot cheaper to import slaves if u were into that kinda thing in America with Africa next doir
reply

One thing is for sure the United States wouldn't exist and if it did it wouldn't be some super power.
