Alfred Wegener is the scientist who first proposed the existence of Pangaea and Panthalassa.

Explanation:

Alfred Wegener, born November 1, 1880 in Berlin and died in November 1930 in Greenland near the Eismitte base, was a German astronomer and climatologist, best known for his theory of "continental drift" proposed in 1912 and published in 1915. As an astronomer, he was interested in several related subjects such as meteorology and geology. He has made numerous expeditions to Greenland to study the meteorology of the polar regions.

His theory was based on many arguments belonging to various disciplinary fields (geodesy, geophysics, structural geology, paleontology) but was accepted by the majority of the scientific community only forty years after his death, when the mechanisms of tectonics plates became obvious.

a fossil fuel is a fuel formed by natural processes, such as anaerobic decomposition of buried dead organisms, containing energy originating in ancient photosynthesis.[1] the age of the organisms and their resulting fossil fuels is typically millions of years, and sometimes exceeds 650 million years.[2] fossil fuels contain high percentages of carbon and include petroleum, coal, and natural gas.[3] other commonly used derivatives include kerosene and propane. fossil fuels range from volatile materials with low carbon to hydrogen ratios like methane, to liquids like petroleum, to nonvolatile materials composed of almost pure carbon, like anthracite coal. methane can be found in hydrocarbon fields either alone, associated with oil, or in the form of methane clathrates.

the theory that fossil fuels formed from the fossilized remains of dead plants by exposure to heat and pressure in the earth's crust over millions of years was first introduced by andreas libavius "in his 1597 alchemia [alchymia]" and later by mikhail lomonosov "as early as 1757 and certainly by 1763".[4] the first use of the term "fossil fuel" was by the german chemist caspar neumann, in english translation in 1759.[5]

in 2017 the world's primary energy sources consisted of petroleum (34%), coal (28%), natural gas (23%), amounting to an 85% share for fossil fuels in primary energy consumption in the world.[6] non-fossil sources in 2006 included nuclear (8.5%), hydroelectric (6.3%), and others (geothermal, solar, tidal, wind, wood, waste) amounting to 0.9%.[7] world energy consumption was growing at about 2.3% per year. in 2015 about 18% of worldwide consumption was from renewable sources.[8]
