Wegener called this ancient continent Pangaea. Other scientists had proposed such a continent but had explained the separation of the modern world's continents as having resulted from the subsidence, or sinking, of large portions of the supercontinent to form the Atlantic and Indian oceans.

Answer:

Panthalassa.

Explanation:

  • German meteorologist Alfred Wegener presented a thorough defense of his "continental drift theory" in 1912. This has to do with where the continents and oceans were located.
  • Wegener claimed that all of the continents were one cohesive mass, encircled by a massive ocean. The name of the supercontinent was Pangea, which translates to "all earth." Panthalassa, which means all water, was the name of the mega-ocean.
  • Panthalassa, which means all water, was the name of the mega-ocean. He claimed that Pangaea, the supercontinent, started splitting about 200 million years ago. When Pangaea originally split into its northern and southern components, Laurasia and Gondwanaland, respectively, formed the two separate continental masses.

Thus this is the answer.
