The existence of the supercontinent Pangaea was first proposed by Alfred Wegener in 1912. He developed the theory of continental drift which suggested that the continents were once joined together in a single landmass before drifting apart to their current positions.
The existence of the supercontinent Pangaea was first proposed by Alfred Wegener, a German meteorologist and geophysicist, in 1912. Wegener's theory of continental drift suggested that the continents were once joined together in a single landmass before drifting apart over millions of years.
The existence of Rodinia, a supercontinent that existed during the late Precambrian period, was first proposed in the 1980s by geologist David L. K. Smith. His work, along with contributions from other researchers, helped to reconstruct the continental arrangement and support the idea of Rodinia's existence. Subsequent studies have further refined our understanding of its formation and breakup.

Pangea was the only supercontinent, which Wegner tried to prove. After Wegner died, scientists now believe that Pangea did exist and now believe that there was more than one supercontinent.

No, Pangaea was not the only supercontinent to have existed. Before Pangaea, there were other supercontinents, such as Rodinia and Gondwana, which formed and broke apart over geological time. The process of supercontinent formation and breakup is a recurring cycle in Earth's history, influenced by tectonic plate movements. Thus, while Pangaea is the most well-known supercontinent, it is part of a larger history of supercontinent cycles.

Wegener's theory of continental drift assumed the existence of one original supercontinent called Pangaea.
