Answer 2

ANSWER:

The theory of Abraham Ortelius brought back the idea of Pangea. This theory was called the continental drift theory.

EXPLANATION:

• According to this theory, the "continents of the earth" drifted apart over time. In other words, the movement of continents relative to each other moves them away across the ocean bed.

• The idea of Pangea was brought back by this theory. Pangea was considered to be an ancient continent that contained all of earth's landmass and out of which the present continents of the earth are said to have emerged.
