The shifting of tectonic plates and continental drift.
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.
The super-continent proposed by the theory of continental drift is called Pangaea. It is believed to have existed about 300 million years ago and subsequently broke apart to form the continents as we know them today.
The supercontinent Pangaea began to break apart approximately 175 million years ago during the Jurassic period. Over millions of years, the landmass split into the continents we recognize today.
Pangaea refers to the super continent that existed before each of the pieces eventually drifted apart into the seven continents that exist today. Scientists believe Pangaea broke apart 200 million years ago.
That was Pangea (from the Greek for Entire Earth). It was surrounded by Panthallasa (Greek for Entire Sea).

The breaking apart of the super continent.
The name of the super continent was Gondwanna (sometimes as Gondwana). When it broke up, Australia and the other southern continents split from each other. And the Indian sub-continent headed off in a roughly northern direction to collide with Asia and create the Himalayas, which are still growing. At an earlier time, the Northern super continent and the Southern one were believed to be one super continent, Pangaea. The northern collection of continents and major islands was Laurasia, and the Southern one Gondwanna.
No. Antarctica is one of the modern continents. The continent the broke up in the Mesozoic was called Pangaea.
Pangaea started to break up during the Triassic Period. It continued to split apart in the Jurassic Period and was almost complete in breaking up in the Cretaceous Period. After that it formed into the landmasses that we see today.
Pangaea don't no

Pangea broke apart about 200 million years ago.
Rodinia formed about 1.3 billion years ago during the Mesoproterozoic era and began to break apart around 750 million years ago during the Neoproterozoic era.
Pangaea, which literally means "all land".
They were formed by the colliding of the tectonic plates during the break-up of the Super Continent.
