Gaia was depicted as a buxom, matronly woman, half risen from the earth (as in the image right) in Greek vase painting. She was portrayed as inseperable from her native element. In mosaic art, Gaia appears as a full-figured, reclining woman, often clothed in green, and sometimes accompanied by grain spirits--the Karpoi.

What are the symbols of greek goddess Gaia?

You need to watch the movie "Final Fantasy" if you want to get a good visual representation of what Gaia may look like if it/she/he could be seen. its just one interpretation though, I'd use an interconnected infinity but more layers knotted together like a mess of interwoven lives connected at specific points, as if we are all one organism, but also run along this path connecting time lines.

How did Alfred wegener discover the pangaea theory?

Well, he discovered that all the Continental were once joined together . In 1912 a German meteorologist named Alfred Wegener (1880-1931) hypothesized a single pronto-super continent that divided up into the continents we now know because of continental drift and plate tectonics. This hypothesis is called Pangaea because the Greek word "pan" means "all" and Gaea or Gaia (or Ge) was the Greek name of the divine personification of the Earth. Pangaea, therefore, means "all the Earth." Around the single protocontinent or Pangaea was a single ocean called Panthalassa (all the sea). More than 2,000,000 years ago, in the late Triassic Period, Pangaea broke apart. Although Pangaea is an hypothesis, the idea that all the continents once formed a single super continent makes sense when you look at the shapes of the continents and how well they essentially fit together. In mythology, Hercules wrestled with the giant Antaeus, who gained his strength from his mother, Gaia.
