supercontinent
Alfred wegener came up with the theory of continental drift, when all of the continents were together as one the landmass was called Pangea
Pangaea was not the first land mass It formed when the continents came together about 300 million years ago. Scientists know that there was once a single landmass based on evidence from ancient climates, fossils, rock formations found across oceans, and the behavior of tectonic plates. Scientists came up with the name Pangaea, which means "all land" in Greek, they did not discover it. Back when the continent we call Pangaea existed there were no people and thus no names.

Pangaea don't no
Alfred Wegener was the German scientist who proposed the theory of the supercontinent known as Pangaea.
supercontinent
It was made up of our land masses today but continental drift came and moved the continents
Pangaea
Pangaea came together over a period of time spanning the Carboniferous and Permian periods. It broke up mostly during the Jurassic period.
the name of the continent that existed 225 million years ago was pangaea
I think Pangaea was the name of the 'supercontinent' that existed billions of years ago that eventually split up to form the continents that exist today.
Pangaea gets its name because it's a greek word for "all Earth".
Pangaea
Pangaea, from the greek for Entire Earth, is the name scientists have given to the mass of all continents before they split up from tectonic movement and continental drift.
