The giant protocontinent is referred to as Pangaea.
They are spread apart now because before the were one big landmass.
It was called Pangaea. His theory was that once all the countries were a big puzzle and and the contents were one big county.
Wegener's hypothesis (1912) is called the continental drift, in which he proposed the hypothesis that Earth's continents were moving, and that 200 MYA, there was only a big landmass called the Pangaea. Too bad he didn't have enough facts to back up this guess, so people thought he had a drug overdose or somethings and laughed him off. Wegener's hypothesis later developed into the modern theory of plate tectonics: the lithosphere is divided into plates that are constantly moving, pumping into each other and causing earth quakes.
The equivalent for big toe or big digit in animals is called Hallux
A big curve of coastline is called a bay.
A big landmass is called a continent.
Alfred Wegener.
It is a big landmass of water.
The scientist thought that the Earth was one big landmass surrounded by water. The called it ANDES.
The island is referred to by locals as the Big Island. The island is called Hawaii and is the most recently formed island on the chain.
a continental theory
well, I am pretty sure that it is over 9, 000
India is called a subcontinent because it is a landmass, not only a country. it doesn't have a big one, so its notconsidered a Continent. That's what is said in my book:)
India is often called a subcontinent because it is a distinct landmass, not just a country. While it has many features of a continent, it is not as big as one, so is not considered a continent.
continental drift :D
Alfred's hypothesis was that all the continents were a big land mass which he called Pangaea because if you see a world map it is like a jigsaw puzzle and other evidence is that some animal fossils were on other continents. Also the same rock range was found on different continents.
Alfred Rubin Thompson goes by Big Al.
