The Pangea puzzle is the theory of the beginning of the continents. It's how the Earth started out. Well it is the theory of how the continents came to be. The legend has it that way back in time, there weren't any continents. There was just one large landmass. Until it started to spread apart. That is when it was no longer just one piece. But there were 7 different landmasses. Over hundreds of thousands of years, those landmasses spread apart into what we know now as our 7 continents.

What does the term Pangaea describe?

Pangaea, also known as the Supercontinent, is the land mass that may have existed at about 250 million years ago. It was a single land mass that consisted of all of the continents, which have since drifted to their current positions. The idea of Pangaea was first proposed by Alfred Wegener. Evidence pointing to the existence of Pangaea includes similarities in fossils and rocks on continents which are now far away and that the coastlines of some of today's continents appear to fit together like puzzle pieces.
