Pangaea,
Laurasia, Gondwana
 Pangaea was a
patchwork supercontinent formed by a series of continental collisions
that began in the Late Paleozoic and continued into the early part of
the Mesozoic.
The part of Pangaea that lies in the Northern Hemisphere is
called Laurasia. It includes most of the present-day
North America, Greenland, Europe, and Asia.
Gondwana
is the part of Pangaea that lies in the Southern Hemisphere. It includes
most of the present-day South America, Africa, India, Australia, and
Antarctica.
Pangaea split into the two megacontinents
Laurasia and Gondwana beginning in the Late Triassic.
