En pangea, cuales 2 continentes tienen el ajuste mas obvio de las costas
zepelin [54]

En Pangea los dos continentes que tienen el ajuste de costa más obvio son América del Sur y África

<h3>¿Qué era la Pangea?</h3>

Pangea es un término científico para referirse al supercontinente que existió en la Tierra entre las eras paleozoica y Mesozoica. Este supercontinente se caracterizó por agrupar la mayoría de la superficie emergida de esa época.

La Pangea fue el resultado del movimiento constante de la litósfera terrestre y las placas tectónicas. Más adelante (cerca de hace 175 millones de años) este supercontinente se factura y comienza a dividirse estableciendo la forma actual de los continentes.

Una de las formas para llegar al estudio de la Pangea es la similitud de las formas de las costas de los continentes, en el caso de América de sur, su costa oriental tiene una forma cóncava y la costa occidental de África que tiene una forma convexa permiten inferir que en algún momento estuvieron pegadas porque encajan perfectamente.
