Pangea is a word coined in 1912 by Alfred Wegner, who is considered to be the father of the modern theory of continental drift. He proposed that some 200 million years ago all continents were once connected, separated from each other by shallow continental seas effectively making it a supercontinent. It is thought to have been made up of two major landmasses being Laurasia in the north and Gondwanaland in the south.
