How might the role of oceans in influencing climatic conditions on land compare during the time of the supercontinent Pangaea to today’s continents?
Responses
During the time of Pangaea, there would have been just one big ocean, and so it would have played a much bigger role in moderating the climate of Pangaea.

During the time of Pangaea, the oceans would not have affected climate as they did not have the ability to move in the ways they do in the present.

As the amount of land space between the two time periods is more or less the same, then the oceans would have a similar moderating effect in both time periods.

Oceans played a smaller role during the time of Pangaea in moderating its climate as the supercontinent would have had less edges and more expansive land area.
