Pangea was the original landmass of Earth so it was probably formed when Earth formed.
Advantage of Pangaea: Increased biodiversity due to species distribution across a vast, connected landmass allowed for unique evolutionary pathways. Disadvantage of Pangaea: Eventually led to mass extinction events as the breakup of Pangaea caused drastic changes in climate and habitats.
Pangaea formed about 335 million years ago due to the collision of several continents, creating a supercontinent. Plate tectonics, the movement of Earth's lithosphere plates, caused this process by gradual shifting and merging of landmasses over millions of years. Around 175 million years ago, Pangaea began to break apart, eventually leading to the formation of the continents as we know them today.
Pangaea broke apart due to the movement of tectonic plates. The movement of these plates caused Pangaea to split into smaller land masses, eventually forming the continents as we know them today. This process, known as continental drift, started about 200 million years ago.
Plate Tectonics. Plate Tectonics are the sub-layers that lie underneath the Earth's surface. They can rub against together, smash together, or pull away from each other. This is what caused Pangaea to separate.
Pangaea separated due to a shift of the tectonic plates, causing the seven continents to form. Geological activity caused the granite crust to separate at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge causing a continental cataclysm that caused the continents to move away from the Ridge toward the opposing side of each continents respective tectonic plates at incredible speeds, forming the mountain ranges.
Continental Drift caused pangaea to seperate.
Pangaea was caused by the moving of the continents and slowly the continents are moving right now so, probably... just think about it...
Earhtquakes-because it shook the world, Vocanoes-because the magma melts the rocks and forms new land, etc. Its things like that, that caused Pangaea.(Pangaea-the continents drifted apart)

The Pangaea super-continent no longer exists because it has broken up into the continents that exist today, as a result of continental drift caused by convection currents in the earth's mantle.

The movement of tectonic plates caused Pangaea, the supercontinent, to slowly break apart over millions of years. This process, known as plate tectonics, was driven by forces in the Earth's mantle that caused the plates to drift and collide, leading to the formation of the continents we see today.
The breakup of Pangaea occurred due to the movement of tectonic plates. Over millions of years, the immense forces of plate tectonics caused Pangaea to gradually break apart into separate continents that drifted away from each other. This process resulted in the formation of the continents as we know them today.
