Dr. Afxendiou Global History and Geography 9 Sachem North High School Geography –The Beginning and the Themes: A Framework for Studying the World Dr. Afxendiou Global History and Geography 9 Sachem North High School

In the beginning... The universe was created billions and billions of years ago during the biggest explosion there ever was. Scientists call it the Big Bang.

Then… 5 billion years ago the earth was born…

Before the dinosaurs the Earth's continents were all connected into one huge landmass called Pangaea . This huge supercontinent was surrounded by one gigantic ocean called Panthalassa.

Then the landmass started to split apart… …and the continents were formed

And believe it or not, it is still moving today…

So… WHY DO HISTORIANS NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO GEOGRAPHY? HOW DO WE USE GEOGRAPHY AS HISTORIANS?
