| Abstract from DBPedia | Pangaea or Pangea (/pænˈdʒiː.ə/) was a supercontinent that existed during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras. It assembled from the earlier continental units of Gondwana, Euramerica and Siberia during the Carboniferous approximately 335 million years ago, and began to break apart about 200 million years ago, at the end of the Triassic and beginning of the Jurassic. In contrast to the present Earth and its distribution of continental mass, Pangaea was centred on the equator and surrounded by the superocean Panthalassa and the Paleo-Tethys and subsequent Tethys Oceans. Pangaea is the most recent supercontinent to have existed and the first to be reconstructed by geologists.パンゲア大陸（パンゲアたいりく）とは、ペルム紀から三畳紀にかけて存在した超大陸である。パンゲア（Pangaea/Pangea）という名前は古代ギリシャ語のpan（πᾶν, 全ての、全体の）Gaia（γαῖα、ガイア、大地）から。漢名は盤古大陸（ばんこたいりく）である。 (Source: http://dbpedia.org/resource/Pangaea) |
