Mesozoic Era
What else can I help you with?
The continents assumed their current positions during the era?
Mesozoic
Which era did the continents merge into a single continent?
The continents merged into a single supercontinent known as Pangaea during the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras, specifically in the late Paleozoic era around 300 million years ago. This supercontinent began to break apart during the Mesozoic era, leading to the formation of the current continents.
What is the name given to the early continents?
When the continents were one big land mass it was called Pangaea, the great land mass of Pangaea split in two creating, Laurasia and Gondwanaland.
How long ago did Pangaea split into continents?
The original super-continent of Pangaea broke up about 200 million years ago during the Paleozoic era forming the continents of Gondwanaland and Laurasia. Gondwanaland later fragmented into Antarctica, Africa, Australia, India and South America. Similarly, Laurasia broke up into Asia, Europe and North America. The current 7 continents have been more or less in their current positions for the past few million years.
How long did it take for Pangaea to separate?
Pangaea began to break apart around 200 million years ago during the Mesozoic Era. The separation process is estimated to have taken about 50-60 million years before the continents assumed their current positions.
The continents assumed their current positions during the era?
Mesozoic
What era did the continents assume their position?
Mesozoic Era
At the end of mesozoic era did the continents took on their modern shape?
No, at the end of the Mesozoic era, about 66 million years ago, the continents were still in the process of drifting to their current positions. It was during the Cenozoic era that the continents took on their modern shapes due to the continued movement of tectonic plates.
How did the continents move during each of the eras?
During the Paleozoic Era, the continents were mostly joined together as a supercontinent called Pangaea. In the Mesozoic Era, Pangaea began to break apart, leading to the formation of the modern continents. Throughout the Cenozoic Era, the continents continued to move to their current positions due to the process of plate tectonics.

What did the earth look like during the cenzoic era?
During the Cenozoic era, the Earth's continents continued to move to their current positions, leading to the formation of familiar landmasses. The climate transitioned from warm and tropical to cooler and more varied. Mammals became the dominant land animals, evolving and diversifying into the species we see today.
