Panthalassa means "all seas." It was the all the world's oceans that surrounded Pangaea before the continental drift occurred in the triassic period.
Thalassa is the Greek primeval goddess of the sea.
Alfred Wegener was a German weatherman (more specifically, a meteorologist at the University of Marburg) who wrote a book, "Die Entstehung der Kontinente und Ozeane," or "The Origin of Continents and Oceans" on the idea of Pangaea. This book came out in 1912 in Germany and 1915 in the USA, despite the First World War going on. Although Alfred Wegener is often recognized as being the originator of the idea of Pangaea, the American geologist Frank Bursley Taylor started theorizing about Pangaea in 1908. He did not, however, really go anywhere with this idea and didn't come up with the name "Pangaea". Alfred Wegener did.

Wegener could not describe a mechanism that was capable of moving the continents across the globe. Answer: C. mechanism of continental drift.
That would be Alfred Wegener
Pangaea.
Alfred Wegener couldn't describe how the plate tectonics moved. So, scientists rejected his hypothesis.
