The crust of the Earth forms continental plates that move with the fluctuations of molten material under the crust. Continental plates separate and collide building mountain ranges and deep sea trenches. This phenomenon (plate techtonics) is what drives the ever changing landscape of the planet. It's what caused the break up of the original super continent.
One of the two supercontinents that Pangaea split into is Laurasia.
The missing word is "can." The complete sentence is: "Studying you can infer how Pangaea split into continents."
Pangaea existed from about 250 to 175 million years ago.
The land mass was called Pangaea before the continents split into the continents we know today. Pangaea was a supercontinent that existed about 335 million years ago.
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.

it looks like this.

Pangaea split into two main pieces: Laurasia in the north and Gondwana in the south. Over time, these landmasses further fragmented into the continents we recognize today.
Pangaea was a supercontinent that existed around 335 million years ago and later split into the continents we have today. Panthalassa was the vast ocean surrounding Pangaea.
The supercontinent that broke apart is called Pangaea. It split into Laurasia in the north and Gondwana in the south.
The two landmasses that split from Pangaea are Laurasia and Gondwana. Laurasia eventually formed North America, Europe, and Asia, while Gondwana formed South America, Africa, Antarctica, Australia, and the Indian subcontinent.
