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.
Pangea was the original landmass of Earth so it was probably formed when Earth formed.
Pangaea separated due to a shift of the tectonic plates, causing the seven continents to form. Geological activity caused the granite crust to separate at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge causing a continental cataclysm that caused the continents to move away from the Ridge toward the opposing side of each continents respective tectonic plates at incredible speeds, forming the mountain ranges.
The creation of Pangaea was due to plate tectonics which causes continents to grow closer at times, and further apart at others.
About 235 million years ago.
Similar species of fossil can be found on separate, but adjacent, continents
Continental Drift caused pangaea to seperate.

No it separated into 3 continents
About 235 million years ago.
The plate tectonics are the mechanisms that started to drift Pangaea (super continent) into separate continents 200billion years ago into the continents we have today. :D
The plate boundaries underneath started the separate Pangaea into seven different continents as well as seven different plates
Pangaea broke up into Gondwanaland and Laurasia over 200 million years ago.
Several hundred million years.
