The word Pangaea ( an American English word) means " All land" or " all of the earth". considered to be a supercontinent that the world of science called "Pangaea" a single landmass.

However the best reference would be The Bible as it is a letter from God for our teaching, according to 2 Timothy 3: 16,17.
Here is what the first Book of the Bible, called "Genesis" has to say in chapter 1:2 " The earth was formless and desolate, and there was darkness upon the surface of the watery deep, and God's active force was moving about over the surface of the waters."
Our planet was brought into existence by God's active force and according to verse 3 " God said: " let there be light." Then there was light from darkness. Verse 5 reads: " Gad called the light Day, but the darkness he called Night. And the first day was made.
I suggest you read the whole chapter of Genesis 1.
When were the sun, moon, and stars created? You may ask.
The sun, moon, and stars already existed as part of " the heavens" created "in the beginning" by God, confirmed in Genesis 1: 1.
However, their light evidently did not reach the earth's surface because of a dense atmosphere. Read Genesis 1: 2.
So although diffused light became visible on the first day, the light source was not yet recognizable. On the fourth day, the atmosphere apparently cleared up. The Bible says that sun, moon, and stars now began to " shine upon the earth", evidently describing how they would have been seen from the perspective of an observer upon our planet Earth . Read Genesis 1: 17.
Most scientists who agree that the univers had a beginning, can only have the perspective of an observer from earth, and not from someone who can observe the earth from above. That is why God who is in heaven could have the most accurate reality of how our planet was and was made.
Here is what the biologist Patrick Shih says . " Our planet started with " an unbradthable atmosphere devoid of oxygen.... overall looking more like a Science Fiction landscape."
Astronomy magasine reports: " New research suggests ancient Earth was a water world, with little to no land in sight." Which is the opposite of what is believed, with the description of the word " Pangaea" which is a single landmass.
The biologist Patrick Shih version is more in harmony with what the Bible teaches.
The name of the supercontinent scientists believe existed millions of years ago is called Pangaea. It is believed to have existed around 335 million years ago and began to break apart around 175 million years ago.
There was no supercontinent back then. Earth is about 4.6 billion years old. It did not exist 5 billion years ago.
The supercontinent that existed around 335 million years ago was called Pangaea. It was formed by the movement of tectonic plates, eventually breaking apart to form the continents we have today.
The first supercontinent is called Rodinia. It existed around 1.3 billion years ago and was formed through the collision of smaller continents.
Alfred Wegener called the large supercontinent that once existed Pangaea.
The supercontinent is called Pangea, formed 300 million years ago
The name of the supercontinent scientists believe existed millions of years ago is called Pangaea. It is believed to have existed around 335 million years ago and began to break apart around 175 million years ago.
It was not. Gondwana was a super continent comprised of Africa, Australia, Antarctica, India, Madagascar, South America, and Sri Lanka. Scientists now believe that more supercontinents existed even before Pangaea. One of them is called Rodinia. Before Rodinia, there was one called Nuna.
I believe its called Pangaea Ultima.
The lack of an explanation for continental drift prevented many scientists from believing a single supercontinent called Pangaea existed. It wasn't until the development of the theory of plate tectonics in the 1960s that the concept of a supercontinent was widely accepted in the scientific community.
The supercontinent that existed 250 million years ago is called Pangaea, and the ocean that surrounded it is known as Panthalassa.
It is accepted by most scientists that there was a supercontinent called Pangaea.
The last supercontinent was called Pangea.
There was no supercontinent back then. Earth is about 4.6 billion years old. It did not exist 5 billion years ago.
The supercontinent that once existed before the continents separated is called Pangaea. It is believed to have existed around 300 million years ago and gradually broke apart into the continents we know today.
The supercontinent that existed around 335 million years ago was called Pangaea. It was formed by the movement of tectonic plates, eventually breaking apart to form the continents we have today.
The first supercontinent is called Rodinia. It existed around 1.3 billion years ago and was formed through the collision of smaller continents.
