∙ 11y agoPangea began to break up along a line between Africa and Asia and between North America and South America between 250 and 200 m.y. ago. During the same period the Atlantic Ocean began to open up between northern Africa and North America, and India broke away from Antarctica.

∙ 13y agoThe first part of the breakup of Pangaea occurred 175 million years ago, in the early Jurassic. It was when Pangaea broke into separate northern and southern portions. The former became Laurasia, and the latter became Gondwana.

Pangaea broke up into what two continents?
Pangaea broke into Gondwanaland and Laurasia.
What was Pangaea When did it form?
Laurasia and Gondwanaland collided to form a single supercontinent called Pangaea from the late Carboniferous Period, through the Permian Period of the Paleozoic era. Glacial deposits show that South America, South Africa, Antarctica, Australia, and India were close together near the south polar region at the middle of the Permian Period.Pangaea was formed in the Late Permian and broke up in the Triassic Era.
What geologic period was pangaea assembled?
Pangea was assembled in the late permian and broke up in the late triassic
What landmass broke apart and drifted away?
245 millon years ago the land mass was a pangea and i am correct
Are the Alps mountains older than Pangaea continent?
No. They are younger. The earliest stages of the formation of the Alps began in the late Cretaceous, more than 100 million years after Pangaea broke up.
What happened when pangaea broke apart?
When Pangaea broke apart we got continents which what we have today.
In which era did the supercontinent Pangaea break up?
Pangaea started to break up during the Triassic Period. It continued to split apart in the Jurassic Period and was almost complete in breaking up in the Cretaceous Period. After that it formed into the landmasses that we see today.
Why did Pangaea become 7 contents?
Plate Tectonics broke Pangaea apart.
What was the process that broke up Pangaea called?
The process that broke up Pangaea is known as continental drift. This theory states that the Earth's continents were once joined together as one supercontinent and have since drifted apart to their current positions.
Who or what lived on Pangaea?
No. Pangaea broke up long before humans evolved.
When did pangaea brake in to two?
Pangaea broke into two pieces when it became old and died
How did Laurasia and Gondwanaland form pangaea?
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 up into what two continents?
Pangaea broke into Gondwanaland and Laurasia.
What geologic era did Pangaea break apart?
The Mesozoic Era.
When did the pangaea separated in which era?
mesozoic
What era did pangaea?
In the Paleozoic era. mesozoic era <== nova net by b.c
What two land masses did pangaea break up into and how many years ago was it?
Pangaea broke up into Laurasia (northern landmass) and Gondwana (southern landmass) around 175 million years ago during the Mesozoic Era.
