What rock evidence leads geologists to conclude that much of Pangaea was an arid or semi-arid environment? What will be an ideal response?
The extensive Permian red beds and evaporites found in western North America, central
Europe, and parts of Russia provide evidence for the dry conditions that existed in the interior
part of the Pangaea supercontinent. Arid conditions were caused because mountain ranges
blocked much of the moist, subtropical easterly winds, creating rain shadows.
