Laurasia was the northern landmass that broke away from Pangaea. The modern day continents located in Laurasia were Europe (without Balkans), Asia (without India), and North America.
Gondwana was the southern landmass that broke away from Pangaea. The modern day continents and countries located in Gondwana were Africa, South America, Australia, India, Arabia, Antarctica, and the European Balkans.

What two super continents did Pangaea break into during the Triassic Period?
Its Laurasia and Gondwana..
When did Pangaea begin to break up?
Pangaea began to break up during the Triassic period, around 200 million years ago. This breakup eventually led to the formation of the continents we recognize today.
When Pangaea break up?
In the triassic period
Are the rockies mountains older than pangaea continent?
No, the Rockies formed as a consequence of the break-up of Pangaea.
What is Pangaea drifted into smaller pieces of continents but before that is was divide first into two major parts they are?
Pangaea separated because of heat buildup. The mantle underneath the thin oceanic crust (several miles thick) surrounding Pangaea lost more heat to the earth's surface than the mantle underneath Pangaea itself (tens of miles thick). This temperature difference altered the convection currents in the mantle and resulted in upward convection underneath Pangaea, which eventually caused it to break into separate pieces along newly-formed divergent boundaries.
When did the Pangaea split into two landmasses?
Pangaea began to break apart around 175 million years ago during the Jurassic period. This breakup eventually led to the formation of two separate landmasses known as Laurasia (in the north) and Gondwana (in the south).
When Pangaea begin to break apart?
The Pangaea began to break down about 200 billion years ago.
When did pangaea brake in to two?
Pangaea broke into two pieces when it became old and died
What were the names of the two smaller supercontinents created by the break up?
The two smaller supercontinents created by the break up of the supercontinent Pangaea are Laurasia in the northern hemisphere and Gondwana in the southern hemisphere.
What effect did the continental drift have on Pangaea?
Continental drift caused Pangaea, the supercontinent, to break apart into separate landmasses over millions of years. This movement resulted in the creation of the continents we know today and influenced the formation of oceans and mountain ranges.
What was India known as when the supercontinent Pangaea started to break?
GONDWANALAND
Did Pangaea break up on purpose?
No, it was the result of natural processes.
