At the close of the Paleozoic Era and continuing into the Mesozoic Era, almost all of Earth's land areas were joined together into a single large continent Pangea. The total land area of that continent was about the same as the total land area of all of the continemts today.

Compared to total land area of all continents today total land area of Pangaea was about?
The total land area of Pangaea was roughly 30% larger than the total land area of all continents today. Pangaea was a supercontinent that existed during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras, before breaking apart into separate landmasses due to tectonic plate movements.
What is the relationship between Pangaea and today's continents?
pangaea was all the continents together as one.on the other hand, the present continents were separated, unlike pangaea.
What happened when pangaea broke apart?
When Pangaea broke apart we got continents which what we have today.
What does Pangaea and how does it relate to the continents today?
Pangaea was a supercontinent that existed about 335 million years ago. It is believed to have later broken apart into the continents we know today due to the movement of tectonic plates. This theory of continental drift helps explain the similarities in geology and fossil evidence found across different continents.
The theory that continents drift apart in the past and continue to do so today is called?
Pangaea
Is pangaea the theory that the continents drifted apart in the past and continue to do so today?
Pangaea is actually the name of the huge continent that broke up and became the continents today. The name of the study that makes use of the concept of continental drift is plate tectonics.
What is the ancient land mass made up of all the continents?
I think you are referring to Pangaea. Pangaea was the gigantic single continent that broke into the continents we have today. See the Related Link below for the Wikipedia entry.
What has happened to Pangaea between 200million years ago and today?
Pangaea has broken up into the continents of Eurasia, Africa, North and South America, and Australia.
What was pangaea and how does it relate to the continents today?
Pangaea was a supercontinent that existed around 300 million years ago, when all the Earth's landmasses were joined together. Over time, Pangaea broke apart due to tectonic plate movement, leading to the formation of the continents we have today. The current continents are still moving very slowly, which is known as plate tectonics.
Were there any other named landmasses between Pangaea and the seven continents we know today?
Nope
Why doesn't Pangaea look like that today?
Because the continents move because of the continental drift
What was pangaea and what has happened over the many years to the continents?
Pangea was a super continent, where all our continents were joined together and then were slowly broken apart and made our continents we have today.
