Laurasia is one of two continents (the other being Gondwana) formed when Pangaea split into two sub-continents, due to plate tectonics.
Pangaea broke into Gondwanaland and Laurasia.
When Pangaea split in two, there where two island landmasses. The Northern landmass was Laurasia. The Southern landmass was Gondwanaland.
One of the two supercontinents that Pangaea split into is Laurasia.

Actually, Pangaea was all the continents smashed together. But, the two continents that broke apart after Pangaea was created were named "Gondwanaland" and "Laurasia".
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.
No, Laurasia was the northern landmass that broke away from Pangaea. The modern day continents located in Laurasia were Europe (without Balkans), Asia (without India), and North America. Gondwana was the southern landmass that broke away from Pangaea. The modern day continents and countries located in Gondwana were Africa, South America, Australia, India, Arabia, Antarctica, and the European Balkans.
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
The northern part of Pangaea was known as Laurasia. It formed from the breakup of the Pangea supercontinent during the Mesozoic era, about 200 million years ago. Laurasia eventually split into North America, Europe, and Asia.
