Storia. La Pangea si sarebbe formata circa 290 milioni di anni fa, a causa del processo della tettonica delle placche, da due supercontinenti: la Laurasia (supercontinente del nord) e la Gondwana (supercontinente del sud). Dalla frammentazione della Pangea derivano gli attuali continenti, con relative geometrie.
Pangaea or Pangea (/ p æ n ˈ dʒ iː. ə /) was a supercontinent that existed during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras. It assembled from the earlier continental units of Gondwana , Euramerica and Siberia during the Carboniferous approximately 335 million years ago, and began to break apart about 200 million years ago, at ...
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, eventually forming the modern continents and the Atlantic and Indian oceans.

What was Pangea? From about 300-200 million years ago (late Paleozoic Era until the very late Triassic), the continent we now know as North America was contiguous with Africa, South America, and Europe. They all existed as a single continent called Pangea.
