Pangaea broke into two pieces when it became old and died
The two halves of Pangaea are. Pangaea split in two roughly 200 million years ago.
Godwana and Pangaea
They did not form Pangaea. Pangaea came first and then broke into two pieces: Laurasia and Godwanaland!
When Pangaea split in two, there where two island landmasses. The Northern landmass was Laurasia. The Southern landmass was Gondwanaland.
Pangaea existed from about 250 to 175 million years ago.

Laurasia is one of two continents (the other being Gondwana) formed when Pangaea split into two sub-continents, due to plate tectonics.
laurasia and gondwanaland
Actually, Pangaea was all the continents smashed together. But, the two continents that broke apart after Pangaea was created were named "Gondwanaland" and "Laurasia".
Pangaea broke up into Gondwanaland and Laurasia over 200 million years ago.
Pangaea was caused by the moving of the continents and slowly the continents are moving right now so, probably... just think about it...
