At the time that Pangaea existed, would the wobble of the earth on its 
axis have been greater? My assumption is that with the weight of all the 
continental material in one place on the earth, there would have been an 
imbalance just like what occurs in a washing machine when it is 
imbalanced. If so what affect would this have had on climate of the time.
