WONDER

Pangea with Dr Sabin Zahirovic [Part 1]


Listen Later

Ever noticed that the coastlines of Africa and South America match up like perfect puzzle pieces? Turns out we need to investigate Earth's youngest supercontinent, Pangea, to explain that one! In this episode of Wonder we're joined by the brilliant Dr Sabin Zahirovic, who shows us some mindblowing visual reconstructions of the Pangean supercontinent and the geologic mega-events that rippled through the earth system during its time. Thank you Sabin!!!!!
