India actually separated from the east side of Africa long after Africa-India separated from Antarctica. It left behind Madagascar and a long trail of small islands as it got further and further from Africa.
- Africa-India separated from Antarctica roughly 170 million years ago
- India separated from Africa roughly 110 million years ago
- India collided with Asia roughly 20 million years ago
You can estimate it yourself from the figures above.

What is the approximate number of years that a meteor will travel to earth?
Meteorites have generally been around since the formation of the Solar System, over 4 billion years ago, until they happen to collide with Earth.
How many years did Byrd explore Antarctica?
7 years
What is the evidence of convergent plate boundary?
A convergent plate boundary is a plate boundary that comes together to potentially collide with each other. A small bit of evidence of this is that India crashed into Asia (they were both convergent plate boundary's) and India is still pushing through Asia when the collision was about 2.5 million years ago.
How do scientists learn about the climate in Antarctica thousands of years ago?
Ice cores are useful for scientists who want to learn about the climate in Antarctica thousands of years ago.
Were there trees in Antarctica?
yes, there were trees in Antarctica before almost 200 million years ago when dinosaurs were existed
When did Gondwanaland exist?
There was an early supercontinent called Pangaea, and this began to split into a northern (Laurasia) and a southern (Gondwana) parts about 500 Million years ago. Gondwana in its turn began to split up into its various continents about 170 - 120 million years ago. The opening of the S Atlantic perhaps 130 m years ago. With India heading N to collide with the Asian Plate, Australia splitting from Antarctica about 80 M years ago, and NZ splitting from Antarctica perhaps 120 M years ago +/- 50 M years.
What was Africa connected to millions of years ago?
Antarctica, India, and South America, in the single planetary continent called Pangaea.
When did India split from Africa?
Gondwana actually split circa 200 million years ago which was originally composed of Modern Antarctica, South America, Africa, India and Australia

What do coal beds in antarctica indicate?
The coal deposits in Antarctica are explained by Pangaea where Antarctica was located next to South America, Africa, Australia, and India.
What was Antarctica known as 2000 years ago?
Antarctica was unknown 2000 years ago.
How much does it snow in India?

The Wonder Years - 1988 When Worlds Collide 4-17 was released on: USA: 20 March 1991
How many years has Antarctica been around for?
Antarctica is as old as earth itself.
Which continent has no country?
Antarctica.
What was Antarctica called in the past?
Pangaea was the original super-continent which broke up into Gondwanaland and Laurasia. Gondwanaland consisted of present day Africa, Antarctica, Australia, India and South America and began to break up about 250 million years ago. Antarctica was completely free of the other land masses by 30 million years ago.
