Pangaea
it was the supercontinent that supposedly consisted of all of the present continents combined...in theory they should all fit together like a puzzle
Pangaea
Just once. This supercontinent was known as Pangea.
The supercontinent proposed by Alfred Wegener, often referred to in his theory of continental drift, is called "Pangaea." This name, derived from Greek, means "all lands" and represents the idea that all current continents were once part of a single massive landmass before drifting apart. Pangaea is believed to have existed during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras, around 335 to 175 million years ago.
he was a naturalist that explored south America and was the first to say that Africa and South America were once one continent.
Some countries still have remains of their once massive empires, for example, the United Kingdom has several territories in every continent as well as France.
Pangea is the name of the latest super continent, but it is widely believed that there were more than one cycle of such "super continent, followed by breakup".Rodinia is the name given the immediate preceding super continent, and traces of at least one other are observed by believers.
yes and it was called pangaea this is a theroy
You mean that WORLD was just one continent?
i believe that you are refering to Pangaea (pan-GEE-(short)a)
plate tectonics
If put together, they would fit perfectly into one huge super continent like a puzzle.
Pangaea
Alfred wegner
The super-continent proposed by the theory of continental drift is called Pangaea. It is believed to have existed about 300 million years ago and subsequently broke apart to form the continents as we know them today.
The theory is called "continental drift," and it proposes that the Earth's continents were once connected as one supercontinent called Pangaea.
It is known as the continental drift theory
Alfred Wegener named the super-continent he believed existed millions of years ago "Pangaea." He proposed the theory of continental drift which suggested that the continents were once all connected as one landmass before drifting apart.
