he thought that it had moved randomly
Wegener proposed the theory of Pangea (the supercontinent) and continental drift. Continental drift is what split Pangea apart.
Wegener's supercontinent was known as Pangaea.
Pangea.
The supercontinent is called Pangea, formed 300 million years ago
Alfred's super-continent is call Pangaea meaning 'all lands' in Greek!
Wegener proposed the theory of continental drift, suggesting that Pangaea, a supercontinent, gradually broke apart over millions of years due to the movement of tectonic plates. He believed that the continents drifted to their current positions.
Alfred Wegener called the supercontinent in his theory "Pangaea," which means "all lands" in Greek. He proposed that Pangaea existed about 300 million years ago and gradually broke apart to form the continents we have today.
Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of continental drift, suggesting that about 250 million years ago, all continents were once part of a single supercontinent called Pangaea. This supercontinent later split apart and drifted into their current positions.
Pangaea
Wegner thought that the continents broke up.
Wegener named his supercontinent "Pangaea," which means "all lands" in Greek. He proposed the theory of Pangaea to explain how the continents once fit together and have since drifted apart due to plate tectonics.
Alfred Wegener's supercontinent is called Pangaea.
