What were atmospheric rivers like during the time of Pangaea?

Some of this had to do with the continent disrupting ocean currents. However, there was also a big volcano that went off about that time. read more

(Siberian Traps) Some scientists think this may have spewed enough sulphurous material into the atmosphere to feed some sort of bacteria, which in turn produced lots of methane. read more

Where these faults were on the Pangaen continent coincide with the coastlines of todays continents. Some may have began as strike-slip or even dip-slip faults that eventually turned into subduction zones or spreading rift zones depending on which plates they came into contact with later. read more

The earth rotated on its axis more quickly than nowadays (the Moon was closer remember), so both atmospheric and oceanic circulation were more vigorous. Large areas of warm open ocean - called Panthalassa - probably meant that there were more violent storms, Pangaea covered a huge area, so to talk about a single climate would be oversimplifying. read more
