Evidence supporting the existence of a single supercontinent, known as Pangaea, includes the jigsaw-like fit of the continents along their Coastlines, similarities in rock formations and mountain ranges across different continents, matching plant and animal fossils found on separate continents, and the alignment of ancient glacial deposits that suggest a single ice cap covering a large landmass. These pieces of evidence support the theory of plate tectonics and continental drift.

Was the theory of super continent originally accepted by scientist?

When German meteorologist Alfred Wegener first published his theory on Pangea (super continent) he was widely ridiculed for it. Some of the reaction to his theory on continental shift and a super continent was actually quite hostile. The idea was first put forward in 1912 but it wasn't until the 1950's that his idea was really rethought. By then evidence of continental drift was starting to support his ideas.

Wegener thought that all of the present continents were once joined 245 million years ago in a landmass he called?

The last super-continent is called Pangaea, which was formed about 245 million years ago. Some believe that Pangaea wasn't the first time all the continents were combined. There is evidence that there was another super-continent way before 245 million years ago that is called Rodinia (which separated for a while, then formed back together to form Pangaea, the latest super-continent).
