The Pangean megamonsoon refers to the theory that the supercontinent Pangea experienced a distinct seasonal reversal of winds, resulting in extreme transitions between dry and wet periods throughout the year. Pangea was a conglomeration of all the global continental land masses, which lasted from the late Carboniferous through the mid Jurassic. This megamonsoon intensified as the continents continued to shift toward each other, reaching its maximum strength in the Triassic, the period in which continental surface area of Pangea was at its peak.

  • The Pangean megamonsoon refers to the theory that the supercontinent Pangea experienced a distinct seasonal reversal of winds, resulting in extreme transitions between dry and wet periods throughout the year. Pangea was a conglomeration of all the global continental land masses, which lasted from the late Carboniferous through the mid Jurassic. This megamonsoon intensified as the continents continued to shift toward each other, reaching its maximum strength in the Triassic, the period in which continental surface area of Pangea was at its peak. The megamonsoon would have led to immensely arid regions along the interior regions of the continent. These areas would have been nearly uninhabitable, with extremely hot days and frigid nights. The coasts experienced seasonality, however, transitioning from rainy weather in the summer to dry conditions during the winter. (en)
