Clues that are useful in reconstructing pangaea are the edges of the continents, glacial deposits, matching folded mountains, fossils found by scientist

Further explanation

Pangea is a supercontinent that existed during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras. Pangea assembled from earlier continental units approximately 335 million years ago, and it begin to break apart about 175 million years ago.

Clues that are useful in reconstructing pangaea are:

Fossils found by scientist: Fossils of the same plant and animal species on some of the continents that the oceans separate.Matching folded mountains: If the continents were joined back, we can notice how the mountains match since they share, for example the same rocks sampleGlacial Deposits: Some places have glacial deposits but the temperatures are not cold to have glaciers. Edge of Continents:   The edges of the continents are useful in reconstructing Pangaea. Some continents such as South America and Africa fit each other if joined together like. Aside from the fitting of edges of the continents, the evidence presence are found in the same continents made the reconstruction easier.

You can use map and notice one thinh. If you flipp over the edges of continents and put them together, you will get a big single continent that is called pangaea. Practically it's impossible but it could be imagined.

Answer

2,238.53 seconds


Explanation

For  a constant speed, to get the time taken to travel for a certain distance we use the formula;

speed = displacement/time

∴ time = displacement/speed

           = (732 Km) / (327 m/s)

732 Km = (732×1000) m

              = 732000 m

∴ Time  = 732000/327

              = 2,238.53 seconds
