Answer:

The number of microcontinents decreased and the size increased

Explanation:

The Proterozoic Era was between 570 million years and 2500 million years ago. It comprises of the Late, Middle and Early Era.

Small Proterozoic continents are called microcontinents. These microcontinents collided and thus their numbers decreased but their resultant collision produced high altitude massive mountain ranges of increased size. This convergence to form a continent of increase size was active between 1.5 and 10 billion years ago. What was formed by this collision was called the continent of Laurentia, which covered about 70% of the earth at that time.

When did the supercontinent pangaea start to break up?
Delicious77 [7]

The correct answer is -175 million years ago.

Pangaea was a supercontinent which was consisted of all the continental masses we know nowadays, just they were all merged into one very large land mass. This supercontinent started to form from the land masses that existed prior to it, and because of the tectonic activity they merged roughly around 335 million years ago. The continent existed during the Paleozoic era, as well as the early Mesozoic era.

With the breaking up of this continent because of the tectonic activity, it split initially into two large continents, Laurasia on the north, and Gondwanaland on the south. With the later break up, Laurasia split into Eurasia and North America, while Gondwanaland split into South America, India (which later moved towards Eurasia and merged with it), Antarctica, and Australia. The formation of the modern day continents also resulted in the formation of multiple oceans instead of one.
