250 million years ago!
Pangaea it was the supercontinent that supposedly consisted of all of the present continents combined...in theory they should all fit together like a puzzle
Most scientists agree that at one time the continents merged, forming the super continent Pangea.

Just once. This supercontinent was known as Pangea.

Pangaea.
The last super-continent is called Pangaea, which was formed about 245 million years ago. Some believe that Pangaea wasn't the first time all the continents were combined. There is evidence that there was another super-continent way before 245 million years ago that is called Rodinia (which separated for a while, then formed back together to form Pangaea, the latest super-continent).
The Mesozoic Supercontinent is known as Gondwana or Gondwanaland.
Continental drift :)
continents
1. The continents fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. 2. There are animal and plant species, extant and extinct, present on separated continents.
The oldest of the super continents was called Rodinia
The three continents that were part of Gondwana are Africa, South America, and Antarctica.
If put together, they would fit perfectly into one huge super continent like a puzzle.
The continents look like that because they use to be a SUPER-CONTINENT called PANGAEA.
