PANGEA was the term coined for a supercontinent continent proposed by Alfred Wegener in 1915 in his book, "The Origin of the Continents and the Oceans" from which all of the continents we know of today are derived. Continental Drift is the process of seismic plates moving the earth's crust on magma convection plumes. Our landmasses and oceans sit on top of the plates and so they move with the plates. That's why it looks like the South West coast of Africa and the East coast of South America should fit together like a puzzle. That's because they once did!
