What would it be like if water hadn't broken up the world and it was all still one big island?

Question

what do you think the world would be like if water hadn't broken up the land and the whole world was still one big island

Answer 1

well it used to be like that and it was called pangea

i think there would be WWAAYY cheaper air fares since everything is closer and i rekon there would be either more or less wars, im not sure which!  because everyone lives in close quarters, who would want to start wars??  although, with the same logic,  rulers would want to take over the land surrounding there country!!

hhhhhhhmmmmmmmmm............

Answer 2

i think we might slosh around more ,while we were spinning....  all lopsided and whatnot. like my washing machine does.

and as global warmonging got worse and worse , we would either have to all get together and start working with each other , or we'd end up killing ourselves off, til there was just one guy left , like that little cartoon guy stranded,all alone on   an island.

thats not fun.

Answer 3

Far less racial discrimination. Due to the fact that different races, if they did evolve, would not differ quite so much as they do when communities are isolated from each other.

Answer 4

well first of all there wouldnt be as many ethnicities as there is today because we would of done so much mixbreeding....and would probably be more advanced....

Answer 5

a war zone the way ppl go on with each other today

Answer 6

More war.  Everyone would be fighting for land that bordered the sea for the natural resources.

Answer 7

it would be a bit boring i guess just one giant island.

Answer 8

um...water didnt break up anything. learn science

Answer 9

It would be so boring - if you lived in the interior - it would take so long to get to the beach - and vice versa.  And the land  broke up the water - by the way.

Answer 10

probably less problems with global warming as less distance with air travel,and the ice caps be different as not forming on any land mass so gravity would cause the ice to form flat causing no displacement if melted ,loads of differences but would take forever to think about it.too sore on head!

Answer 11

It would still be called as PANGEA

Answer 12

dry

Answer 13

It would be pretty much the same.  Water is not the only natural barrier that created different ethnicities.  Mountains, deserts, and climate can accomplish the same thing.  Just compare northern Africa to sub-Saharan Africa.

Answer 14

Again...  water didn't do anything,  the Earth's crust moves and continues to do so.  The continents will eventually crash into each other again.  Weather would be very very different, our current climate is the way it is because of way the land and oceans are set up right now.  Global warming or not... as the land moves our climate is going to change again.

Life would be much different, animals and plants would be much less diverse.  We would probably still have some sort of large animals like dinosaurs running around.  If somehow people still managed to become the top species then I would bet world domination would have been achieved at least a couple times by different tyrants.  There would be a lot more wars, people will always find stuff to fight about.  It wouldn't matter if we were all the same size or color we'd come up with something else.  There would also be not nearly as much technology simply because there wouldn't have been a need for a lot of it.

Answer 15

read up on tectonic activity , water didn't do anything.

as for what i think you mean by you question:

we would absolutely not be here , since evolution would have taken a completely different path.

Answer 16

Pangaea or Rodinia?

Well, a big land mass with a large amount of desert probably.
