Who discovered the super continent?
Supercontinent was first proposed in 1912 by the German meteorologist Alfred Wegener as a part of his theory of continental drift.
Who discovered the existence of the super continent Pangaea?
Supercontinent was first proposed in 1912 by the German meteorologist Alfred Wegener as a part of his theory of continental drift.
Who proposed the hypothesis that the continents were once joined in a single supercontinent?
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.

Who proposed kinetic theory of gases?
The basic theory was first discussed and proposed by Bernoulli.
When was the endosymbiotic theory proposed?
Lynn Margulis first proposed the theory of endosymbiosis.
What did wegener think had happened to his super continent?
Wegener proposed the theory of Pangea (the supercontinent) and continental drift. Continental drift is what split Pangea apart.
What did wegener name his supercontinent?
Wegener named his supercontinent "Pangaea," which means "all lands" in Greek. He proposed the theory of Pangaea to explain how the continents once fit together and have since drifted apart due to plate tectonics.
What is it called when the continents once formed a huge supercontinent?
Many million years ago, the huge supercontinent theory was proposed by one man named Alfred Wegner. He explained the theory of continental drift which lead to the supercontinent called Pangea. Another man named John Tuzo Wilson proposed to theory of plate tectonics which helped scientists to believe Wegner's ideas. Together Wilson and Wegner proposed Pangea. Later on, it was split into two other smaller continents called Laurasia and Gondwanaland.
When was theory of relativity first proposed?
1905
Who first noticed how the continents fit together in 1911?
Alfred Wegener first proposed the theory of continental drift in 1912, in which he suggested that the continents had once been joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea. While his ideas were not widely accepted during his lifetime, they later formed the basis for the theory of plate tectonics.
Who first proposed the idea of contintental drift?
Alfred Wegener first proposed the theory of continental drift in 1912.
