Why the Pangaea?

Question

What is the reason for plate movement, the formation and breakup of Pangaea?

Answer 1

Continents float on the mantle kind of like slag floats on molten steel. The mantle, which is actually in a plastic state, nonetheless behaves like a very slow moving liquid, and has all the same characteristics, such as convection, which is caused by interior heat escaping to the cooler surface. Convection creates circulatory belts, which in turn causes pieces of continents to move around, sometimes ripping them up, sometimes smashing them into each other. Check plate tectonics.

Answer 2

It's one great piece of crap, just trying to prove evolution and big bang which were proved a hoax long ago. They rotated continents, shrank Africa by 40%, missed Mexico, Guatemala etc.
Cut out all the continents from a map and try pasting it together like the Pangaea. You'll know simply how this theory lied to you. Plates do move about, but not to this extent. If they did they should've left huge cracks, like the ones after an earthquake(But Millions of times its length and breadth) as they say it moved for millions of years. Where's that? It could have drained the whole water from the oceans. Pangaea never existed except in the dreams of evolutionists, then why ask about how it broke up.

Answer 3

We are floating on a very very slow soup of molten rock that has movement in it. We (and the piece of rock we are on just float on that soup toward....well nowhere really.

It is the movement of the magma that makes the crust crack and landmasses move. The heavier the 'Piece of rock' the more it sticks in that soup the more effect the soups movement has.

When it was just that one piece it was just a matter of time before it would break up.

Why it started out with just pangea? Maybe it didn't and other parts just sank into oblivion. We are just left with the pangea parts. Maybe that was to big to sink but also to big to stay in one piece.
