Laurasia is one of two continents (the other being Gondwana) formed when Pangaea split into two sub-continents, due to plate tectonics.
Laurasia and Gondwanaland were part of the supercontinent Pangaea, which formed around 335 million years ago through the collision and joining of several smaller landmasses. As tectonic plates shifted and moved over millions of years, Laurasia drifted northward and Gondwanaland moved southwards to eventually break apart and form the continents we know today.
Pangaea broke into Gondwanaland and Laurasia.
Laurasia and Gondwanaland
Pangaea separated into Laurasia (North America, Europe, and Asia) and Gondwana (South America, Africa, Antarctica, Australia, and the Indian subcontinent) during the Mesozoic Era.

When Pangaea split in two, there where two island landmasses. The Northern landmass was Laurasia. The Southern landmass was Gondwanaland.

Cenozoa is not an ancient continent. Instead, it is an era in the geological time scale that started around 66 million years ago and continues to the present day. Pangaea, Laurasia, and Gondwana were ancient supercontinents that existed before breaking apart into the continents we recognize today.
Actually, Pangaea was all the continents smashed together. But, the two continents that broke apart after Pangaea was created were named "Gondwanaland" and "Laurasia".
Pangaea (acurate spelling) after many years broke into two continents, one called laurasia and the other gondwana, laurasia contained of Asia and such, and gondwana included Australia etc
