The Pangaea theory or the Expanding Earth theory posits that the Earth originally had one supercontinent that slowly divided. Pangaea is the name of the supercontinent.
The hypothesis is called SEA FLOOR SPREADING(it isn't capitolized)
I believe you speak of continental drift. yup
continental drift
Pangea was a super continent, where all our continents were joined together and then were slowly broken apart and made our continents we have today.
The idea that continents move slowly across the earth's surface is called the continental drift.
Continental drift.
Alfred Wegner's theory of continental drift stated that the continents were all once together but over time have drifted apart.
This is tectonic plate movement.
The theory is called plate tectonics, which posits that Earth's outer shell is divided into several large, rigid plates that move and interact with one another. This movement can result in phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the drifting of continents over millions of years.
Through the passage of time, the continents have gradually moved across the earth's surface into their present positions. This is called the continental drift.
When the continents were said to be one land mass, it is called Pangea by scientists. Continental drift was when the Earth's plates moved and drifted slowly apart.
The continents that fit together like a puzzle are South America and Africa. This phenomenon, known as continental drift, supports the theory of plate tectonics, suggesting that these landmasses were once connected as part of the supercontinent Pangaea, before shifting apart over millions of years.
