Alfred Wegener named his single supercontinent ____________, which means "all Earth" in ancient Greek.

• Pandora

• Gandowandaland

• Pangaea

• Percia

Wegener found fossils of land reptiles on two different continents. This was important because

• Land reptiles are often found all over the world, showing that they can survive in most climates

• Land reptiles cannot swim, so the continents must have been connected for them to get across

• Land reptiles are never moved around the Earth by humans, so they must have traveled to these continents by themselves

• Land reptiles fossilized much better than other animal species
