Panthalassa was the vast global ocean that surrounded the supercontinent Pangaea during the late Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras. It covered about 70% of Earth's surface at the time and played a key role in shaping the planet's climate and geography.

Pangaea was a supercontinent that existed around 335 million years ago and later split into the continents we have today. Panthalassa was the vast ocean surrounding Pangaea.
Alfred Wegener, a German meteorologist and geophysicist, first proposed the theory of Pangaea and Panthalassa in the early 20th century. He suggested that the continents were once joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea, surrounded by a single large ocean known as Panthalassa.
'Panthalassa' was the great sea that surrounded Pangea.
During the time of the supercontinent Pangaea, the ocean known as Panthalassa surrounded Pangaea. Panthalassa was a vast ocean that covered most of the Earth's surface. As Pangaea broke apart, this single ocean eventually split into the modern oceans we have today.

Panthalassa means "all seas." It was the all the world's oceans that surrounded Pangaea before the continental drift occurred in the triassic period.

This massive body of water was called Panthalassa.

'Panthalassa' was the great sea that surrounded Pangea.
The name "Panthalassa" comes from the Greek words "pan" meaning "all" and "thalassa" meaning "sea." It was used to refer to the global ocean that surrounded the supercontinent Pangaea during the late Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras.
