Given the time line and the possible seabed structure of the area in question, It could be supposed that there may have been some other area of dry land? General ideas of gyro dynamics and balance say that the earth could not have maintained its spin and solar course if there were nothing on the other side of Pangaea to balance things out some.

Mainstream science will barely even speak of what was directly opposite Pangaea to my knowledge, they just don't know!! I have the feeling that if posed with the question most modern day scientists would try to put the hush hush on the whole thing saying; "Nothing but water. Why do you ask?" or something to the effect of how my college professor put the mystery of black holes back in the 70's " Don't let it bother your scholastic career with such ideas. Think on them for an hour and then get on to what we know." It was a cop out then and I assume nothings changed. Perhaps it was the site of a massive meteor strike that caused the break up of the super continent in the first place? Who knows? But given that this is an area covering more than 3/4 of the planet at the time, you'd think that they (modern scientists) would be more interested!!? It is unfortunately they are not.

The opposite of Pangaea would be the fragmentation of continents into separate landmasses, which is known as continental drift or plate tectonics. This process has resulted in the formation of the current configuration of continents on Earth.
