The Mesozoic Supercontinent is known as Gondwana or Gondwanaland.
PANGAEA
Pangaea it was the supercontinent that supposedly consisted of all of the present continents combined...in theory they should all fit together like a puzzle
Asia was the continet that wasnt part of it.
All of the present day continents were part of Pangaea. However, until the supercontinent broke up, these future continents were not distinct from one another in any significant way.

the Hypothesis is Based on an apparent fit between Africa and South America,Wegener hypothesized that at one time all continents were joined together in a "supercontinent" called Pangaea. The supercontinent eventually broke into the smaller continents, which then "drifted" towards their present positions.
Pangaea
Pangea (the single continent) was present in the late Paleozoic Era and early Mesozoic Era.
The theory of continental shift is plate tectonics. Pangea was a supercontinent that broke up and drifted into the continents we have today (and are still drifting).
