Pangaea, also known as the Supercontinent, is the land mass that may have existed at about 250 million years ago. It was a single land mass that consisted of all of the continents, which have since drifted to their current positions.

The idea of Pangaea was first proposed by Alfred Wegener. Evidence pointing to the existence of Pangaea includes similarities in fossils and rocks on continents which are now far away and that the Coastlines of some of today's continents appear to fit together like puzzle pieces.
