I thought "Pangea" was a unique name



The spelling is unique, for sure. Had you gone to a quality high
school, you would have known the word was spelled Pangaea. :}


It is actually spelled both ways. You will find numerous university web
sites hich have it listed as Pangaea.

You can also find web sites where they spell it Pangaea, and find the
maps they show have it listed as Pangea.

If you go to Dictionary.com, you will see most dictionaries say it can
be spelled either way.


Even the USGS spells it Pangea
