The super-continent proposed by the theory of continental drift is called Pangaea. It is believed to have existed about 300 million years ago and subsequently broke apart to form the continents as we know them today.
Just once. This supercontinent was known as Pangea.
yes and it was called pangaea this is a theroy
You mean that WORLD was just one continent?
Pangea was the first continent. It Existed during the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras, forming 300 million years ago
Alfred Wegener named the super-continent he believed existed millions of years ago "Pangaea." He proposed the theory of continental drift which suggested that the continents were once all connected as one landmass before drifting apart.
If put together, they would fit perfectly into one huge super continent like a puzzle.
The theory is called "continental drift," and it proposes that the Earth's continents were once connected as one supercontinent called Pangaea.
Pangaea
The existence of the supercontinent Pangaea was first proposed by Alfred Wegener in 1912. He developed the theory of continental drift which suggested that the continents were once joined together in a single landmass before drifting apart to their current positions.
It is estimated that Earth's continents have come together to form a super-continent around three times in the last 600 million years. This cycle of continents coming together and then breaking apart is known as the supercontinent cycle. Examples of supercontinents include Pangea, Rodinia, and Columbia.
