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.

∙ 14y agoPangaea was the great, single landmass that existed on Earth before the dividing of the continents. In Biblical terms, this was though to exist before the Great Flood. In scientific terms, this was the landmass that existed before plate tectonics broke apart North America and South America from Europe, Africa, and Asia.
