The largest continent today is Asia, followed by Africa. These two continents together make up a significant portion of the Earth's landmass.
What is the giant super continent called?
Before all of our continents split apart, due to tectonic activity, they were all together. Because of this, they were just one continent, called Pangea, which was a super continent. Evidence has proved that the continent did exist, because the same species of animals have been found all over the world.

Why pangaea broke up into small pieces?
Pangaea, the supercontinent, broke up due to the movement of tectonic plates. The Earth's outer shell is divided into several plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below. The movement of these plates over millions of years led to the breakup of Pangaea into the continents we see today.
Was pangea the only supercontinent to have existed?
It was not. Gondwana was a super continent comprised of Africa, Australia, Antarctica, India, Madagascar, South America, and Sri Lanka. Scientists now believe that more supercontinents existed even before Pangaea. One of them is called Rodinia. Before Rodinia, there was one called Nuna.
When did Rodinia form?
Rodinia formed about 1.3 billion years ago.
Where did scientist find evidence about rodinia?
Scientists found evidence in Rodinia in Antartica.
What was the super continent before Pangaea called?
AnswerGondwana and Rodinia.Actually, Rodinia was before Pangea, but Gondwana and Laurasia were after Pangea. Gondwana to the south to make the southern continents, and Laurasia to the north to make the northern continents.
What year did Pangaea come apart?
Pangaea must be regarded as a concept, a stage in the making of present day Earth. Perhaps about 450 million years ago, Pangaea had assembled from pieces of Rodinia - the previous super continent cycle. Inland mountain chains such as the Caucasus and the Appalachians almost certainly represent ancient collisions of these processes, in much the same way as does the Himalaya today. Information and synthesis of ideas continues actively, and the concepts change likewise. Be prepared to change your mind as new ideas surface. Perhaps you'll contribute to them.
