    The names of all continents is Pangaea given by Alfred Wegener in 1912

    Explanation:

    The name Pangaea or Pangea is derived from the Greek pan that in english means Whole and Gaia that in english means Land. The idea was not new because before Wegener, other scientist have proposed the idea of a huge landmass and then the separation by continents. but Wegener was the first to use the term continental drift.

    The continental drift means that the continents are moving form each other since millions of years due to the mantle convection. This theory has been replaced by tectonic plate theory.
