Laurasia, the northern landmass that formed after the breakup of the supercontinent Pangaea, began to split around 200 million years ago during the Late Triassic to Early Jurassic periods. This separation resulted in the formation of the continents North America, Europe, and Asia. The process was gradual, continuing over tens of millions of years as tectonic plates shifted.

The term "Laurasia" originated from the geologist Alexander Du Toit in the early 20th century.
