Several hundred million years.
Pangaea began to break apart around 200 million years ago during the Mesozoic Era. The separation process is estimated to have taken about 50-60 million years before the continents assumed their current positions.
About 335 million years ago, Earth's continents were connected in a supercontinent known as Pangaea. Over time, Pangaea broke apart into separate landmasses that eventually drifted to their current positions.
During the time of Pangaea, most landmasses were concentrated together as a supercontinent, so there weren't many individual islands like Hawaii or Easter Island. Most of the Earth's surface was part of Pangaea, with few separate islands. It was only after the breakup of Pangaea that the continents shifted to create separate islands as we see them today.
No, Pangaea separated into two main supercontinents called Laurasia and Gondwana. These two supercontinents eventually broke apart to form the continents we have today.
Pangaea separated into Laurasia (North America, Europe, and Asia) and Gondwana (South America, Africa, Antarctica, Australia, and the Indian subcontinent) during the Mesozoic Era.
Pangaea began to break apart around 175 million years ago during the Jurassic period. This breakup eventually led to the formation of two separate landmasses known as Laurasia (in the north) and Gondwana (in the south).

About 235 million years ago.
The plate boundaries underneath started the separate Pangaea into seven different continents as well as seven different plates

No. Pangaea broke up long before humans evolved.
The continents began to separate around 175 million years ago during the Jurassic period. This process of continental drift eventually led to the formation of the current continental configuration we see today.
Pangaea broke up during the Mesozoic Era, specifically during the Triassic and Jurassic periods, approximately 175 million years ago. This breakup led to the formation of the continents as we know them today.
Plate Tectonics. Plate Tectonics are the sub-layers that lie underneath the Earth's surface. They can rub against together, smash together, or pull away from each other. This is what caused Pangaea to separate.
