Was pangaea the only supercontinent that ever existed?
Scientists believe there were several other supercontinents before Pangaea.
What does the term Pangaea describe?
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.
What evidence may be cited to prove that there once existed a supercontinent?
Same fossils of a plant on different continents.
How do you use pangaea in a sentence?
Pangaea was all the continents together but with the eruptions there is now 7 continents. Pangaea is only 1 continent but now it is extinct.The Pangea Supercontinent existed millions of years ago.
What was Wegener's evidence that Pangaea once existed?
1. There were fossils found on different sides of continents, that were the same. 2. If you put all the continents together they fit like puzzle pices in a puzzle. Hope I helped!

How can you explian Pangaea?
Pangea was the giant supercontinental landmass that existed on the Earth's surface about 250 million years ago. It was essentially all of the present continents 'stuck together' in one large grouping. It is proposed by plate tectonics that the movement of tectonic plates moved portions of this landmass apart and around the world, forming the present continents in their existing distribution.
Who proposed the laws of gravity?
I don't think anybody proposed the laws of gravity. The laws of gravity have existed since the beginning of time and the beginning of the universe.
Was pangea the only supercontinent to have existed?
It was not. Gondwana was a super continent comprised of Africa, Australia, Antarctica, India, Madagascar, South America, and Sri Lanka. Scientists now believe that more supercontinents existed even before Pangaea. One of them is called Rodinia. Before Rodinia, there was one called Nuna.

Perhaps you mean Pangea? Pangea was a supercontinent that existed 300-200 million years ago. It composed of all the modern day continents.
