Pangea, and according to another website, Pangea means
entire Earth, or super continent containing all the continents and only one ocean.There are mixed opinions on this, though. Some think that all the continents never were together, wheras others strongly suggest that the fact that earth was once a single landmass may be the case. And as for the ones who believe in Pangea- some disagree about it separating 200+ million years ago. We may never know if Pangea existed or not.

The name of the single landmass that broke apart 200 million years ago is Pangaea.
Yes.
Pangaea is the single landmass that was formed by the continents around 335 million years ago. It eventually broke apart into the continents we have today due to the movement of tectonic plates.
"spread out"
plates
Australia was once part of a large landmass. That large landmass was called Gondwanaland. Australia broke apart from Gondwanaland over 65 million years ago.
Continental drift.
a single landmass or supercontinent
The theory of plate tectonics suggests that the Earth's continents were once connected as a single landmass called Pangea. Over millions of years, the landmass broke apart and drifted to their current positions. This process continues today, with continents still slowly moving.
The single landmass before it broke apart into continents is known as Pangaea. This supercontinent existed during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras.
The original landmass is called Pangaea. Pangaea began breaking apart around 200 million years ago, eventually forming the continents as we know them today.
Pangaea is the supercontinent that existed around 200 to 250 million years ago.
