When was Pangaea or Pangea broken up?

First Stage: Pangea began its break up in the Triassic Period. North America and Gondwana first separated followed by the separation of Mexico with South America and North America with Africa. The Atlantic ocean began to form in the Northern hemisphere. Second Stage: Rifting in the southern hemisphere resulted in the separation of Africa from Antarctica and India and India from Antarctica. Massive amounts of basaltic lavas resulted from the rifting. Third Stage: Eurasia rotated, closing the eastern end of the Tethys Sea. The Atlantic rift traveled northward. South America and Africa began to split at the end of the Jurassic and by the Late Cretaceous the two landmasses were completely separated. Also, in the Late Cretaceous, Greenland and Europe began to separate. India moved along it's pathway to Laurasia. Fourth Stage: The final and fourth stage of the break-up of Pangea took place in the Early Triassic. The Atlantic rift finally completed the separation of North America and Eurasia. Also, Antarctica and Australia were separated in the final stage of the Pangea break-up. It took 150 million years for the complete break-up of Pangea.
