Did you know that once the continents were all connected? Yes they were. Plate tectonics constantly move the continents around. When the continents move far enough, for long enough, new continents would be formed and this would change a lot. Continents may block the currents of the ocean and make the planet super hot or cause ice ages. Pangea was formed after the super continent, Rodinia broke apart. the plates began moving and by the Permian Period, Pangea was formed. The dinosaurs developed on Pangea, but by the mid Jurassic Period, Pangea split apart into many pieces and carried dinosaurs together with them. The pieces eventually moved to where the continents are today.
