What three continents came together to form Pangaea?
It wasn't three continents it was all of them.
When and how did Pangaea started to break up during the Mesozoic era?
Pangaea began to break up approximately 200 million years ago. It was once a super continent that became surrounded by Panthalassa which was a single global ocean.

What is the Pangaea theory?
The Pangaea theory is one that states that all present continents were once together and collectively known as a 'supercontinent' called a Pangaea. The word 'Pangaea' means 'all lands' in Greek, accurately defining the way the continents were 200 millions years ago before it split up. These split-up pieces drifted slowly apart and became the way they are today. Even until now, the shape of the Earth surface is still changing, and it will be forever, as long as the mantle underneath the Earth's crust gets heated and convection currents in the magma keeps dragging the plates.The Pangaea theory was treated with much skepticsm when it was first raised. But since then, there have been much evidence to support this theory.The Pangaea theory is the theory that once all the continents consisted of one large super-continent called Pangaea and that there was one massive ocean called the Panthalassa Ocean.
What does computer modeling show about the breakup of Pangaea?
It shows that Pangaea was a long continent that crossed the equator. Asia & North America then split from the other continent. Antarctica split off the rest.
Who came up with the Pangaea?
Alfred Wegener came up with the name Pangaea which means "all land".
Who came up with the name Pangaea?
Alfred Wegener came up with the name Pangaea which means "all land".
Who came up with the idea of Pangaea?
Alfred Wegener
Who came up with the theory of Pangaea?
The theory of Pangaea was proposed by Alfred Wegener in 1912. He suggested that the continents were once joined together before breaking apart and drifting to their current positions.
How did Laurasia and Gondwanaland form pangaea?
Laurasia and Gondwanaland were part of the supercontinent Pangaea, which formed around 335 million years ago through the collision and joining of several smaller landmasses. As tectonic plates shifted and moved over millions of years, Laurasia drifted northward and Gondwanaland moved southwards to eventually break apart and form the continents we know today.
Pangaea was an ancient supercontinent made up of?
It was made up of our land masses today but continental drift came and moved the continents
What came after Pangaea Laurasia or Gondwanaland?
both
When did Pangaea begin to break up?
when did pangaea begin to break up
What period did the continents move together to form Pangaea?
Pangaea came together over a period of time spanning the Carboniferous and Permian periods. It broke up mostly during the Jurassic period.
What was the process that broke up Pangaea called?
The process that broke up Pangaea is known as continental drift. This theory states that the Earth's continents were once joined together as one supercontinent and have since drifted apart to their current positions.
Who or what lived on Pangaea?
No. Pangaea broke up long before humans evolved.
Were there people living on earth when pangaea was around?
No people were not around when Pangaea was. The time of Pangaea was before the time of the dinosaurs (they came in the Jurasic era) and we are supposed to have evoled from some types of dinosuars.
