∙ 14y agoIt really depends on just how far back you really want to go, but the evidence gives an age of about 250 million years ago for the most recent time that all of the continents were joined into one supercontinent. This given name for this most recent supercontinent was Pangaea, but drift and collision seem to be cyclical over time and there are quite a few names of prior supercontinents going back much futher in the Earth's history.

Idea that all continents were once a single landmass but are now separate is called?
This single landmass was the supercontinent of Pangea. They separated due to continental drift.
What was the latitude of Pangaea?
The latitude of Pangea was hard to pinpoint because it was a supercontinent. All of the continents were together before they separated into 7 continents.
How did Pangaea get separated into a lot of continents?
pangea got separeted because of continentil drift wich is a fancy word for crust.Pangea is a supercontinent
What is the term for the separation of the continents?
Continents are separated; that is a matter of geography. If you are concerned about their increasing separation, that is described as continental drift.
What will happen if continents combined?
that means we would have the Pangaea again *Pangaea was the supercontinent that existed during the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras about 250 million years ago, before the component continents were separated into their current configuration.
Which theory suggested that the earth was once a single ''supercontinent'' that gradually broke up into the continents that you know today?
The continents used to all form the supercontinent of Pangea. The theory of continental drift explains how they separated and formed today.
