Pagena was 135 million years ago, when all of the continents were last joined as one. The Keweenawan Rift was about 1.1 billion years ago. The type of lavas rock that now fills the Keweenawan Rift is 15 km of lavas. The period of time that michigan was south of the equator was called Cambrian, this period was 514 million years ago. In the future world the major mountain range that is north of Africa is the Mediterranean mountains. 250 million years from now North America will be connected to Africa and Eurasia.
