Answer
Pangea. This is part of the plate tectonic theory.
Answer
When all the continents are connected, it's called a supercontinent. There have been multiple supercontinents in Earth's history.
Alfred Wegener theorised that there was originally a super continent he named Urkontinent which existed before the continents were seperated and moved into their current locations. He come up with this theory in 1912. In 1928 the term Urkontinent was changed to the name we know today Pangaea or Pangea.

What did Rutherford contribute to the study of science?
After Rutherford's discovery(Planetary Model), scientists started to realize that the atom is not ultimately a single particle, but is made up of far smaller subatomic particles. Following it research was done to figure out the exact atomic structure which led to Rutherford's gold foil experiment. They eventually discovered that atoms have a positively-charged nucleus in the center. Since electrons were found to be even smaller, this meant that the atom consists of mostly empty space.
