Wegener thought that all of the present continents were once joined 245 million years ago in a landmass he called?
The last super-continent is called Pangaea, which was formed about 245 million years ago. Some believe that Pangaea wasn't the first time all the continents were combined. There is evidence that there was another super-continent way before 245 million years ago that is called Rodinia (which separated for a while, then formed back together to form Pangaea, the latest super-continent).
When did Pangaea spread apart?
Pangaea refers to the super continent that existed before each of the pieces eventually drifted apart into the seven continents that exist today. Scientists believe Pangaea broke apart 200 million years ago.
What are facts about Pangaea?

Pangaea don't no
Was the Pangaea the only the only super-continent to have existed Explain your answer.?
No,because geologist have evidence that,before Pangaea existed, other supercontinents formed and split apart over billions of years. And the answer is right because i took it out of the Science book!!

What is the giant super continent called?
Before all of our continents split apart, due to tectonic activity, they were all together. Because of this, they were just one continent, called Pangea, which was a super continent. Evidence has proved that the continent did exist, because the same species of animals have been found all over the world.
How do fossils support the evidence of pangaea?
Pangaea implies at some part in the Earth's evolution, probably before the rise of mammals and intelligent life ( Man) there was one major world continent that since has split up into the present seven. As life of intelligent type did not exist at the time, there is no way fossils can be dragged in to prove things one way or the other, though it does have a relative bearing on Atlantis and Atlantean studies.

What supercontinents were before Pangaea?
Pangaea was a super-continent which broke up into 10 super continents. All though we are unclear of its exact configuration Rodina predates Pangaea by 800 million years. Before that, smaller continents like Atlantica and Artica were still around. ♥:)♥
