Pangaea, also known as the Supercontinent, is the land mass that may have existed at about 250 million years ago. It was a single land mass that consisted of all of the continents, which have since drifted to their current positions.
The idea of Pangaea was first proposed by Alfred Wegener. Evidence pointing to the existence of Pangaea includes similarities in fossils and rocks on continents which are now far away and that the Coastlines of some of today's continents appear to fit together like puzzle pieces.
Wegener coined the term "Pangaea" from Ancient Greek words meaning "entire earth." He used this name to describe his hypothesis that all the continents were once connected as one supercontinent before drifting apart.
The term "Pangaea" was first used by German meteorologist and geophysicist Alfred Wegener in the early 20th century. Wegener proposed the theory of continental drift, suggesting that the continents were once joined together in a supercontinent he named Pangaea.
Wegener's supercontinent was known as Pangaea.

According to Wikipedia, the term Pangaea appeared in 1928 during a symposium to discuss Alfred Wegener's theory of continental drift.
