pangaea, pan-gaea, pan- meaning ''all'' and gaea meaning ''earth,land''
Pangaea "Pan"means 'entire' and "Gaea" mean 'Earth' in Ancient Greek.
Pangaea
Pangaea is parted into two words. "Pan" means "every", "all" or "entire" in Greek. "Gaea" means "earth" in Greek.
I think you mean what was PangaeaPangaea was a super continent made up of all the continents at the beginning of the Earth.It started breaking up around the Triassic Period
Pangaea was the name for the only continent on the Earth before it's tectonic plates split, making the land into more continents. See this video for better information on how the world used to look and how it should look in the future. Pangaea was our first continent. The Earth's tectonic plates crash together creating volcanoes mountains and earthquakes, although when they split apart each it is moving us slightly, Britain used to be attached to Greenland! Later in life we may only have 1 continent again, just like Pangaea
Pangaea is Greek for "all land."
You mean that WORLD was just one continent?
During the time of Pangaea, most landmasses were concentrated together as a supercontinent, so there weren't many individual islands like Hawaii or Easter Island. Most of the Earth's surface was part of Pangaea, with few separate islands. It was only after the breakup of Pangaea that the continents shifted to create separate islands as we see them today.
The name "Pangaea" is derived from the Greek words "pan" meaning "all" and "gaea" meaning "Earth." It refers to the supercontinent that existed about 300 million years ago, when all the Earth's landmasses were joined together.
Hyper is both Latin and Greek. It means above but can mean other things like super, very active or nervous.
Pangea meaning "all lands" was the name given to the single super continent by Alfred Wegner, the originator of the theory of continental drift. Pangea broke into several smaller continents that subsequently drifted away from each other. Tectonic is relating to, causing, or resulting from structural deformation of the earth's crust.
Laurasia and Gondwana are names given to the two early principal pieces into which Pangaea broke up.Later, Gondwana broke into major pieces with Arabia, India, Madagascar and Australia separating from Antarctica.In a subsequent phase Laurasia split into Laurentia and Eurasia.Pangaea is the name given to the latest super continent grouping, and there were several cycles of formation of super continent, followed by breakup.If you enter Pangaea into an on-line encyclopedia, you'll get more information.But remember, one of the principal outputs of science is more questions to answer.
