What is it called when the continents once formed a huge supercontinent?
Many million years ago, the huge supercontinent theory was proposed by one man named Alfred Wegner. He explained the theory of continental drift which lead to the supercontinent called Pangea. Another man named John Tuzo Wilson proposed to theory of plate tectonics which helped scientists to believe Wegner's ideas. Together Wilson and Wegner proposed Pangea. Later on, it was split into two other smaller continents called Laurasia and Gondwanaland.
What is the name of the supercontinetal that existed about 200 million through 100 million years ago?
The supercontinent that existed several million years ago is called Pangea. It combined all of today's continents into one supercontinent, mostly in the Southern Hemisphere. It was surrounded by a super ocean, Panthalassa, and started to break up 175 million years ago.
What force caused the movement of the continents from one supercontinent to their present locations?
It's called the Continental Drift but scientists changed it to Plate Tectonics in 1960.
