continental drift. they are still moving today, but only at about 2.5 cm a year.
The process of continents separating from Pangaea is called continental drift. This movement of the Earth's continents is driven by the motion of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface.
No, Pangaea separated into two main supercontinents called Laurasia and Gondwana. These two supercontinents eventually broke apart to form the continents we have today.
The landmass was called Pangaea before the continents separated into their present orientation. Pangaea was a supercontinent that existed about 335 million years ago.
Continental drift is the theory that explains how the Earth's continents have moved over time due to the process of plate tectonics. About 300 million years ago, all the continents were part of a supercontinent called Pangaea. Over time, the movement of tectonic plates has separated and repositioned the continents to their current locations.
When all the continents were joined together as one supercontinent, it was called Pangaea.
Before the continents separated, they were part of a supercontinent known as Pangaea. This supercontinent began breaking apart around 175 million years ago, eventually forming the continents we know today.

Pangaea
There were originally one supercontinent called Pangaea that eventually split into the continents we have today.
That is what's believed, yes. The super-continent is called Pangaea/Pangea.
The theory that all present continents were once joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea was proposed by Alfred Wegener in 1912. He suggested that over time, Pangaea broke apart into the continents we see today, a process known as continental drift.
The giant landmass was known as 'Pangea', before the continental drift separated the land into diffrent continents.
When the continents were together it was called "pangea"
