The name of the supercontinent that scientists believe existed millions of years ago is "Pangaea." This supercontinent is thought to have begun forming about 300 million years ago, eventually bringing together all of Earth's landmasses into a single, immense landmass. Over time, Pangaea started to break apart, leading to the formation of the continents as we know them today. This process of continental drift is a central aspect of the theory of plate tectonics.
