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

2 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.

3 Then… 5 billion years ago the earth was born…

4 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.

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

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

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