Alfred Wegener proposed the concept of Pangaea after observing similarities in geology, fossils, and climate patterns across continents. He noticed how certain landmasses fit together like pieces of a puzzle and postulated that they were once part of a supercontinent that had since drifted apart.
What else can I help you with?
What are facts for PANGAEA?
Pangaea is a "super continent." Pangaea is all seven continents together. Alfred Wegner is the person that made the continental drift theory. No one believed him until years after he died they found proof that he was right.1. They found the same animals and plants fossils in different continents.2. They fit perfectly together, like a puzzle.3. Rocks on two continents look exactly alike.
What does the Theory of Continental Drift?
the movement of the continent i :-)
One of the first attempts to prove that all continents were combined into one landmass was made by who?
Alfred Wegener, a German scientist, was one of the first to propose the theory of continental drift in the early 20th century. He suggested that all continents were once part of a single supercontinent called Pangaea and had drifted to their current positions over time.
Why did most scientists not believe in Pangaea?
Because the earth was thought to be made by god, and it was perfect and no continental crusts. The existence of continental crusts is one of the many evidence that proved Pangaea to be a theory. Also, the existence of the fossil records of the same species along the coastlines of 2 different places confirms Pangea. The current movements in earth's crust also provide evidence that Pangaea could have formed. Most scientists were not given this data and therefore the evidence for Pangaea was vague. Only now has the evidence shown more consistency. Science is skeptical my friend.
How did pangaea change over time?
They split up and then the continents drift away search up Alfred Wegener and his theory "Continental Drifts" Indeed, underground lava convection currents push the plates, splitting them apart. New earth was made and destroyed. The land that appeared above ground was split by this movement.
How many kids did Alfred wegener have?
Alfred Wegner had didnt have any kids because his wife wanted to but soon after they made a confirmation, Alfred Wegner died of heart failure.
How did Alfred Wegner think mountains were formed?
Alfred Wegner thought they where made by such a huge force that comes form two continents smashing together.
Who made a theory fo pangaea?
The person who made the theory for Pangaea was Wegener Alfred made in 1910. Also, for more information type in goggle: Wegener's Evidence Booklet. Hope it helped you.
Who came up with continental drift?
Alfred Wegner made the theory of continental drift and he proved his theory was right and he was right because back then the seven continents were were like one big continent until Wegner new that the continents were drifting apart. He had prove and his prove was that the seven continent were like a jigsaw puzzle, and that the remains of crocodiles and other rare animals were found in America and Africa. Although it has to be said it doesnt take a genius to note the continents were once joined judging by their shape, and that children have been noting this for years CHILDREN!

How did wegner stummble upon the matching continents that formed pangaea?
Alfred Wegener was looking at maps once, (as he was a weatherman) and found the edges of each continents fit together like a puzzle. He researched it, and then came up with the theory of Continental Drift. The people did not accept his theory, and asked what made the continents move. He thought that that was not his problem, but the people of the world's problem.
Wegner's theory of continental drift?
His theory is that all the continents were connected and made a super continent called Pangaea then eventually the moving of tectonic plates over the millions of years caused the continents moves apart.
What is the name of the super-continent?
Pangaea don't no
Pangaea was an ancient continent made up of?
Pangaea was made up of the current major continents on Earth, where they were once combined in one continent.
What made Pangaea to start splitting?

What are the main features for Pangaea?
