D)combined to form a supercontinent (he termed Pangaea)in the Late Paleozoic through the Mesozoic

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Wegener proposed that all the continents were once combined to form a supercontinent he termed Pangaea, during the Late Paleozoic through the Mesozoic. He suggested that over time, the continents drifted apart to their current positions. His evidence included the fit of the continents, the distribution of fossils, and glacial deposits that were consistent with a former southern hemisphere location for some continents.
