Question

Wegener named the supercontinent pangaea, which means _____. "all lands" "large rock" "only land" "all seas"

Answer 1

To break down the word pangaea, you can split it into "pan" and "gaea". "Pan" means whole, and "gaea" means Earth in Greek, so pangaea means "all lands".

Answer 2

Answer: All lands

Step-by-step explanation:

• Alfred Wegener in the year 1912 gave a proposition that all the continents that we see today were once compressed together into one large supercontinent/protocontinent.
• He named this supercontinent as Pangea which means "all lands".
• The word was derived from an ancient Greek word wherein pan = all and Gaia=land.
