Pangea (or Pangaea) was a "supercontinent" that scientists believe incorporated almost all of the earth's landmasses. It began to break apart about 200 million years ago, and eventually the modern continents and Atlantic and Indian Oceans were formed.
Well, most modern day scientist believe in the theory of plate tectonics. Which states that in the beginning there was only one continent, or super-continent if you will, named Pangaea. Over time however the tectonic plates beneath Earth's surface shifted and separated the continent into the seven continents we know today.
Antarctica is the only continent that is completely frozen in the soil. The majority of the continent is covered in ice, with thick ice sheets that have formed over millions of years.
Pangaea was a large super-continent that existed millions of years ago.
Alfred Wegener named the super-continent he believed existed millions of years ago "Pangaea." He proposed the theory of continental drift which suggested that the continents were once all connected as one landmass before drifting apart.
Scientists believe that in the next 250 million years, the continents will continue to drift and may collide to form a new supercontinent, similar to how Pangea existed in the past. This cycle of supercontinent formation and breakup happens over hundreds of millions of years due to tectonic plate movements.

The galaxies beyond our own are millions to billions of light years away, meaning the light takes millions to billions of years to get here.
That at one time in the past many many millions of years ago they were all joined together forming just one super continent.

Scientists believe the Appalachian Mountain range--which extends from lower Maine to Georgia--were created when the Super Continent, Pangea, split apart millions of years ago. Scientists also believe the Appalachian Mountains once had volcanos.
Antarctica has never had a typhoon or tornado, at least not for millions of years.
