The theory of Pangaea is the theory that the Earth was once covered by one giant continent or land mass. The land mass supposedly started to break apart when the dinosaurs went extinct. The theory explains why different continents look like they are part of a jigsaw puzzle, and how the same type of fossil was found on to different continents. The theory also explains why our continents today are slowly drifting apart.
