What was the Pangaea theory?
The Pangaea theory postulates that millions of years ago, all the Earth's continents were joined together as a single landmass known as Pangaea. This supercontinent later fragmented and drifted apart to form the continents we see today. The theory is supported by geological evidence, such as matching rock formations and fossils on separate continents.
What is the name of the single land mass?
The single land mass is called Pangaea. It was the supercontinent that existed about 300 million years ago before breaking apart into the continents we know today.
Which continents are located on a single land mass?
Australia and Antarctica are the only continents located on their own, separate landmasses and are referred to as island continents because they do not touch any other continent. North and South America are located on a single landmass (America). Europe, Asia, and Africa are located on a single landmass (Afro-Eurasia).

What is the first original land mass called?
The first original land mass is called Pangaea. It was a supercontinent that existed about 335 million years ago, before breaking apart into the separate continents we have today.
When continents break apart into separate land masses what it is called?
When continents break apart into separate land masses, it is called continental drift or plate tectonics. This process is driven by the movement of the Earth's lithospheric plates.
