What else can I help you with?
Wegeners's idea that the continents slowly move over earth's surface became know as?
Pangaea
What was Wegener's hypothesis about Earths continents have moved?
He thought that 300 million years ago, there was a supercontinent named Pangaea(There are many ways to spell this word) and it contained today's seven continents. A lot of scientists rejected his hypothesis because it contradicted their idea how mountains formed(A long time ago, they thought that Earth was slowly shrinking). He used fossils, land features, and ancient climatic zones to prove his idea, but the idea was never accepted until today.
Is the scientist who first proposed the existence of pangaea and panthalassa albert einstein alfred wegener isaac newton johannes kepler?
Alfred Wegener was a German weatherman (more specifically, a meteorologist at the University of Marburg) who wrote a book, "Die Entstehung der Kontinente und Ozeane," or "The Origin of Continents and Oceans" on the idea of Pangaea. This book came out in 1912 in Germany and 1915 in the USA, despite the First World War going on. Although Alfred Wegener is often recognized as being the originator of the idea of Pangaea, the American geologist Frank Bursley Taylor started theorizing about Pangaea in 1908. He did not, however, really go anywhere with this idea and didn't come up with the name "Pangaea". Alfred Wegener did.
Did humans live during the time of Pangaea?
No. Pangaea is thought to have broken up about 240 million years ago during the Triassic Period, while early man only evolved during the last few million years.
What name do you use for the presumed original single supercontinent postulated in plate tectonics?
The name used for the presumed original single supercontinent in plate tectonics is "Pangaea." This supercontinent is thought to have existed during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras, before breaking apart into the continents we know today.
Who first put forward the idea of Pangaea?
Alfred Wegener first put forward the idea in 1912
Is an idea a type of thought or is a thought a type of idea?
An idea can generally be seen as a mental concept or insight that represents a particular thought or perspective. In this sense, a thought can be a manifestation or expression of an idea.
Wegeners's idea that the continents slowly move over earth's surface became know as?
Pangaea
What is the first Pangaea discovered?
The first Pangaea was proposed by Alfred Wegener in the early 20th century based on the fit of the continents, similarities in rock formations, and fossil evidence. This theory revolutionized our understanding of the Earth's geological history.

What is a theory to support continental drift?
Pangaea , all the continents are thought to have fit together millions of years ago.
How did Alfred wegener come up with the idea on Pangaea?
Alfred Wegener came up with the idea of Pangaea by observing the fit of South America and Africa's coastlines, as well as similarities in rock formations and fossils on different continents. He proposed the theory of continental drift to explain how the Earth's landmasses were once joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea before drifting apart over time.
In which year did the concept of Pangaea begin?
The concept of Pangaea, the supercontinent that existed during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras, was first proposed in the early 20th century. Alfred Wegener, a German scientist, introduced the idea of Pangaea in 1912 as part of his theory of continental drift.

Who thought of volleyball?
William Morgan thought of the idea for Volleyball.
