What is the name given by wegner to the supercontinents he proposed existed before the curreny continents?
Pangaea :)
How many times have supercontinents formed and broken up?
There is only one that I know of and that was Pangaea
How did Pangaea get its name?
Pangaea got its name because Pangaea was a supercontinentthat used to exist during the late Paleozoic eras, forming about what "scientists" say three million years ago...However, the earth is only about 6,000 years old so wherever scientists got that theory from....who knows? I don't think that supercontinents are real and that there was a paleozoic era...This is what my school lesson says.....I hope someone has a better answer than this because it is far from true.
How many supercontinents have there been?
During the prehistoric times there have been 12 supercontinents, and 3 as of today: Afro-Eurasia, America and Eurasia .
Did pangaea separate into four continents?
No, Pangaea separated into two main supercontinents called Laurasia and Gondwana. These two supercontinents eventually broke apart to form the continents we have today.

What were the names of the smaller supercontinents created by the break up of the Pangaea?
k

How many originol supercontinents did wegener's theory of continental drift have?
Wegener only predicted one supercontinent, pangaea of course! all of the other continents he predicted were NOT supercontinents
What best describes the supercontinent cycle that resulted in the continents?
The supercontinent cycle involves the repeated formation and breakup of supercontinents over geological time. This cycle is driven by plate tectonics, where continents drift and collide to form supercontinents, which eventually break apart due to tectonic forces. Examples of supercontinents in Earth's history include Rodinia and Pangaea.
What were the two continents called when Pangaea broke into two?
The two continents that formed when Pangaea broke apart are Laurasia in the north and Gondwana in the south. These two supercontinents eventually broke up further to form the continents we have today.
How many original ''SuperContinents'' did Alfred Wegener's theory of continental drift assume?
One, it was named Pangaea
