Laurasia and Gondwana are names given to the two early principal pieces into which Pangaea broke up.

Later, Gondwana broke into major pieces with Arabia, India, Madagascar and Australia separating from Antarctica.

In a subsequent phase Laurasia split into Laurentia and Eurasia.

Pangaea is the name given to the latest super continent grouping, and there were several cycles of formation of super continent, followed by breakup.

If you enter Pangaea into an on-line encyclopedia, you'll get more information.

But remember, one of the principal outputs of science is more questions to answer.
