The theory of Pangaea was that the continents were once together and then were drifted apart due to plate tectonics.

Alfred Wegner's theory of continental drift stated that the continents were all once together but over time have drifted apart.
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.

because if the same fossils were found in the same spot but on two different continents and if you put the continents together like a puzzle and the fossils were in the same spot, it would mean the continents drifted apart.
they drifted together to form a single continent
They were joined together, then drifted apart to their current positions
The theory of Pangaea was that the continents were once together and then were drifted apart due to plate tectonics.
He could not explain why the continents drifted.
It is believed that the continents drifted apart. They were once all together as one piece and you could walk back and forth between the parts.
Yes. after the continents drifted North or South respectivally. Yes. after the continents drifted North or South respectivally.
That there was once a super continent called Pangaea huge land mass was broken into continents that drifted apart. The theory also suggests that the earth is made up of 7 gigantic shifting slabs of the earth's crust. This disproved the more popular (at the time) "raisin" theorem
The theory of continental drift that we gender worked out the continents were together but gradually drifted apart
Plate tectonics. As the continents broke apart, the organisms on the continents drifted with them. That's why Gondwanian and Laurasian fauna are still decidedly different.
He used evidence from landform, climate, and fossils to support his theory of the continental drift.
