The continents assumed their current positions during the era?
Mesozoic
How long ago did Pangaea split into continents?
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.
Which era did the continents merge into a single continent?
Pangea (the single continent) was present in the late Paleozoic Era and early Mesozoic Era.
In what geological period did Pangaea break up into separate continents?
the paleozoic Era

What is unique about the Cenozoic era?
Cenozoic Era,third of the major eras of the Earth's history, beginning about 65.5 million years ago and extending to the present. It was the interval of time during which the continents assumed their modern configuration and geographic positions and during which the Earth's flora and fauna evolved toward those of the present.
What era occurred before the current era?
The current era is Cenozoic era. The preceding era was Mesozoic era. However if you are looking for periods in Cenozoic era, the current one is Neogene period, the preceding period was paleogene period.
How did Earth's current era begin?
The beginning of Earth's current era is marked by a mass extinction.
At the end of mesozoic era did the continents took on their modern shape?
True
How did the continents move during each of the eras?
They moved by plate tectonics. When continents move, they are resting on plates that glide.
How long has Earth been in the current era?
The current era is the Cenozoic. It began 65.5 million years ago. The previous era was the Mesozoic.
