Abraham Ortelius felt that at one time the continents all fit together to form one continent he called Pangaea.
The hypothesis that states the continents were once joined together in a single supercontinent is called "Pangaea." This theory suggests that due to the movement of tectonic plates, Pangaea eventually broke apart over millions of years to form the continents as we know them today.
Alfred Wegener proposed the hypothesis of continental drift in 1912, suggesting that the continents were once joined in a supercontinent he called Pangaea. His idea laid the groundwork for the development of the theory of plate tectonics.

Abraham Ortelius was a cartographer and mapmaker who is known for creating the first modern atlas in 1570 called "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum". His evidence was based on compiling information from various sources, including explorers' reports, travelers' journals, and existing maps, to create a comprehensive and accurate representation of the world known at that time. Ortelius's atlas was groundbreaking in its use of a uniform scale and design, which set a new standard for mapmaking.
Abraham Ortelius proposed the theory of continental drift in 1596 in his work "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum." He suggested that continents were once joined together as a single landmass before slowly drifting apart to their current positions. His theory laid the groundwork for the development of the theory of plate tectonics.
