Abstract
Palaeomagnetic evidence indicates that the continents have been in a more-or-less continuous relative motion. At the end of the Palaeozoic there was a redistribution of the major continental blocks that occurred without the formation of new ocean between them. Wegener's Pangaea seems only to have lasted a few tens of millions of years.
