Geographical Origins of Australia
Thursday, 20 April 2023Mr Daly
Over 200 million years ago Australia was part of a great landmass known as Pangaea.
This ‘supercontinent’ split in two, making Laurasia (which later became Europe, Asia and North America) and Gondwanaland, which consisted of Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Antarctica and South America.
If you look at the shape of the present day continents of Africa and South America on a world map, you can see how they may have once fitted together.
Scientific studies have shown how the Earth’s crust has followed cycles of joining and breaking up, this is called ‘continental drift’.
