To understand how the Pangaea supercontinent formed and its connection with India and Tibet, we need to understand the basic concepts of plate tectonics. Pangaea was a supercontinent that formed around 335 million years ago and started breaking apart about 175 million years ago. The reason for its breakup was convection currents in the Earth's mantle, which move tectonic plates. These plates slowly shift, causing the continents to drift. After Pangaea broke apart, the continents separated and gradually took the shape we see on today’s map. India was originally on a separate tectonic plate, connected to Antarctica and Australia. Around 120 million years ago, the Indian plate started moving northward and collided with Tibet about 50 million years ago. This collision led to the formation of the Himalayas. The mountains were formed because of compression between the Indian and Eurasian plates, which caused the Earth's crust to rise and fold. Africa is also undergoing changes due to plate tectonics. The African continent currently sits on three major tectonic plates: the African Plate, the Somali Plate, and the Nubian Plate. These plates are moving in different directions, forming the East African Rift Valley. This rift valley is a crack that is slowly dividing Africa into two parts. In about 10 million years, Africa could split into two separate continents. This process is called rifting. The rifting speed is around 2-5 cm per year, which is very fast in geological terms. However, in human lifetimes, this process is extremely slow. #video #discovery #earth #nature #life #
