Here are some more resources for your supercontinent project!
The map of Davadinia would get a 14/20. It is colorful, but it is not neat. It is also not very scientifically based. It does have a good key, a compass, and the equator. There is no white space, and it is a supercontinent. Mountains are drawn at convergent boundaries. Mid-ocean ridges are drawn at divergent boundaries. The Antarctic Plate has moved above the other continents because it is currently located at the South Pole and is still moving south.
Note that I made up the shape of my continent, you can do this too!
You can also decide your continent has been flooded or frozen due to climate change. It's up to you!
The white map below is more scientifically based. This project would get a 16/20. It needs to be colored but it is very scientifically accurate. Many types of landforms are shown. The key is clear. The continents have continued moving in the current direction of plate motion, that is how North America and South America ended up on the other side of the Eurasian continent. Africa kind of disappeared though... So keep Africa in your map!
Thanks for all your hard work!

ReplyDeleteHey! I saw your question and then deleted it or something. Yes, it is totally fine if all your continents are different colors. That will make it easy for me to see them :-).
