Pangea, supercontinent that incorporated almost all of Earth’s landmasses in early geologic time. Fully assembled by the Early Permian Epoch (some 299 million to about 273 million years ago), it began to break apart about 200 million years ago, eventual
The sequence of maps on this page shows how a large supercontinent known as Pangaea was fragmented into several pieces, each being part of a mobile plate of the lithosphere. These pieces were to become Earth's current continents. The time sequence shown through the maps traces the paths of ...
Geological History of Pangaea The supercontinent of Pangaea began to break up approximately 200 million years ago. Convection currents deep below the Earth's crust moved tectonic plates through seafloor spreading. As seafloor spreading broke apart Pangaea longitudinally, the continents of Laurasia and Go...
At the beginning of the Mesozoic Era, Africa was joined with Earth's other continents in Pangaea. Africa shared the supercontinent's relatively uniform fauna, which was dominated by theropods, prosauropods and primitive ornithischians by the close of the Triassic period. Late Triassic fossils are...

GIS-based Reconstruction of Pangaea with Recent Progresses in Plate Tectonics It is now widely accepted that the continents or land masses are constantly, slowly moving, or drifting over the asthenosphere as the sea floors spread in response to the mantle convection. These continents were joined tog...
s landmass were joined together into the supercontinentPangaea. The subsequent breakup of Pangaea and of its southern portion,Gondwana, dispersed these plates outward, where they began to take the form and position of the present-day continents. The collision (or convergence) of two of these ...
