All of them. "Pangaea", from the Latin "pan" meaning "all" and Gaea, the mother goddess of Earth, means "all of the Earth"; it was a single supercontinent that included all of the major land masses.
The western bulge of South America was probably tucked in just south of the eastern bulge of Europe.

Approximately 200 million years ago during the early Jurassic period, there were six continents as part of the supercontinent Pangaea. These six continents were North America, South America, Africa, Eurasia, Antarctica, and Australia. Over time, tectonic movements caused Pangaea to break apart into the continents we have today.
Was the breakup of pangaea during the cenozoic era?
Pangaea is known as the super continent, a super continent is when all the continents fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. this theory was known by Alfred Wegener. so coming back to question during the mesozoic era Pangaea was no more. all the continents drifted apart during the mesozoic era.

The original super-continent of Pangaea broke up about 200 million years ago during the Paleozoic era forming the continents of Gondwanaland and Laurasia. Gondwanaland later fragmented into Antarctica, Africa, Australia, India and South America. Similarly, Laurasia broke up into Asia, Europe and North America. The current 7 continents have been more or less in their current positions for the past few million years.
What continents collided to for crowders mountain?
Crowders Mountain is part of the Appalachians, which formed during the Alleghenian Orogeny. The mountains formed when the continents of the time, Euramerica and Gondwana, collided to form the supercontinent Pangaea. The sections of the continents that collided correspond to the modern continents of Africa and North America.
What two super continents did Pangaea break into during the Triassic Period?
Its Laurasia and Gondwana..

Actually according to my scientific calculations Pangaea means all Earth toghether.So 1 because at the time it was Pangaea all the land masses were together.
During what era did Pangaea break up?
Pangaea began to break up in the early Mesozoic Era. Pangaea may have actually been the last of four super continents found on Earth.
