Pangaea was not the first land mass It formed when the continents came together about 300 million years ago. Scientists know that there was once a single landmass based on evidence from ancient climates, fossils, rock formations found across oceans, and the behavior of tectonic plates. Scientists came up with the name Pangaea, which means "all land" in Greek, they did not discover it. Back when the continent we call Pangaea existed there were no people and thus no names.

What is Pangaea?
Pangaea was a large, ancient landmass that was composed of all the continents joined together, also called a "supercontinent." Its name is Ancient Greek: Pan meaning entire and Gaea meaning Earth; from the Greek meaning "all lands."Pangaea is believed to have formed around 300 million years ago and began to break up around 175 million years ago. It was a roughly C-shaped landmass that had all of our modern continents together as one. The movements of the Earth's crust (continental drift) means that landmasses continue to slowly move in relation to each other and the Earth's axis.
