Australia broke apart from Antarctica approximately 50-60 million years ago during the Eocene epoch. This separation marked the beginning of the formation of the Southern Ocean and the opening of the Tasman Sea.
No, the supercontinent that began to break apart about 225 million years ago is called Pangaea, not Antarctica. Antarctica is the southernmost continent on Earth, situated over the South Pole. Pangaea eventually broke apart to form the continents we know today.
No, that statement is not correct. The supercontinent that began to break apart about 225 million years ago is called Pangaea. Antarctica was part of Pangaea before it started to separate into the continents we have today.
Antarctica was located near the South Pole 250 million years ago, as part of the supercontinent Pangaea. Over time, plate tectonics caused Pangaea to break apart and Antarctica to drift to its current location at the southern tip of the world.
The supercontinent that began to break apart about 225 million years ago was Pangaea.
Pagaea began to break apart about 180 million years ago during the Jurassic period.

No. Antarctica is one of the modern continents. The continent the broke up in the Mesozoic was called Pangaea.

200-250 million years ago it broke away (like everything else) as the earth expanded..
Antarctica was located near the South Pole 250 million years ago, as part of the supercontinent Pangaea. Over time, plate tectonics caused Pangaea to break apart and Antarctica to drift to its current location at the southern tip of the world.
The supercontinent that began to break apart about 225 million years ago was Pangaea.
We can't find any precise date or time for the event you anticipate.
Approximately 200 million years ago during the early Jurassic period, there were six continents as part of the supercontinent Pangaea. These six continents were North America, South America, Africa, Eurasia, Antarctica, and Australia. Over time, tectonic movements caused Pangaea to break apart into the continents we have today.
Pangaea was the original super-continent which broke up into Gondwanaland and Laurasia. Gondwanaland consisted of present day Africa, Antarctica, Australia, India and South America and began to break up about 250 million years ago. Antarctica was completely free of the other land masses by 30 million years ago.
Pagaea began to break apart about 180 million years ago during the Jurassic period.
Pangaea began to break apart about 200 million years ago during the Triassic period. This process eventually led to the formation of the continents as we know them today.
