What is the super continent that held all of earths land?
About 250 million years ago, all current continents formed one supercontinent called Pangaea (from Ancient Greek, meaning "Entire Earth") surrounded by one ocean, Panthalassa ("Entire Sea").Now, Pangaea is the most recent and most well-known supercontinent, but due to ongoing continental drift, supercontinents form all the time. 600 million years ago, there was Pannotia, and 1,1 billion years ago, there was Rodinia, etc. And apparently, about 200 million years in the future, we will get a new supercontinent, when East-Asia and North-America collide.Look up supercontinent cycle on Wikipedia for more info.
How Earth formed about years ago?
The present best estimate is 4.6 billion years.
What were the continents called when they were all together?
When the continents were all together, they were called supercontinents. The Earth is thought to be 4.6 billion years old. The oldest theorized supercontinent is Vaalbara, which may have formed 3.3 billion to 3.6 billion years ago. The oldest known supercontinent is Ur, which formed 3 billion years ago. The Kenorland supercontinent formed 2.7 billion years ago. Columbia formed 1.8 billion to 1.5 billion years ago. Rodinia formed 1.1 billion to 750 million years ago. Pannotia, which also is called the Vendian supercontinent, formed 600 million to 540 million years ago. Pangaea formed 500 million to 200 million years ago. Laurasia formed 200 million years ago. And the last supercontinent was Gondwana. But that title may be held only temporarily by Gondwana. For the future may hold possibilities of one or two supercontinents within the next millions of years.
