Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras about 250 million years ago
Pangea formed about 335 million years ago during the late Paleozoic era, as the supercontinent began to come together through the process of continental drift.
That was Pangea (from the Greek for Entire Earth). It was surrounded by Panthallasa (Greek for Entire Sea).
There is no exact (or even reasonably approximate) estimate for when Pangea formed, but the supercontinent could have come together between 200-300 million years ago. Pangea began to rift and break apart around 200 million years ago.
The process when Pangea broke apart is called continental drift or plate tectonics. It involved the gradual movement of the Earth's lithosphere plates, resulting in the separation of the once-connected landmasses that formed Pangea.

Pangea formed about 335 million years ago during the late Paleozoic era, as the supercontinent began to come together through the process of continental drift.
Gondwana and Laurasia were formed by the fragmentation of the supercontinent Pangaea during the Mesozoic era. This separation eventually led to the formation of the modern continents we see today.

pangea
About 300 million years ago the continents collided to form the 'supercontinent' of Pangea. It was the PALEOZOIC era.
After pangea, the ancient super-continent, spread out.
When the super-continent Pangea began separating into separate continents, the Atlantic Ocean formed from Panthalassa (which was the ocean surrounding Pangea.)
The process when Pangea broke apart is called continental drift or plate tectonics. It involved the gradual movement of the Earth's lithosphere plates, resulting in the separation of the once-connected landmasses that formed Pangea.
When the Earth's continents were all connected as one, it was called "Pangaea." This supercontinent existed over 300 million years ago, during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras. Pangaea eventually broke apart due to the movement of tectonic plates, leading to the formation of the continents we have today.
The supercontinent that was formed during the Paleozoic era was called Pangaea. It existed approximately 335 to 175 million years ago and was made up of almost all of Earth's landmasses. Pangaea began to break apart during the Mesozoic era, eventually leading to the continents we recognize today.
Pangea formed in the late Carboniferous about 300 million years ago.
