Laurasia and Gondwanaland formed during the late Carboniferous period, around 300 million years ago, through the breakup of the supercontinent Pangaea. Laurasia was located in the northern hemisphere, while Gondwanaland was in the southern hemisphere.
Then about 200 million years ago the land began to drift apart. It broke into two pieces, and scientists have called the continent in the north Laurasia and the continent in the south Gondwanaland. Gondwanaland included what we know as Antarctica, which was joined to South America, Africa, India, and Australia.The two large continents continued to break apart into the smaller continents that exist today. Scientists call this movement 'continental drift'
South Dakota is in the Northern Hemisphere. South Dakota is part of the United States which is all contained within the Northern Hemisphere.

Gondwanaland includes continents such as South America, Africa, Antarctica, Australia, and the Indian subcontinent. Laurasia includes continents such as North America, Europe, and Asia.
Laurasia and Gondwanaland formed during the late Carboniferous period, around 300 million years ago, through the breakup of the supercontinent Pangaea. Laurasia was located in the northern hemisphere, while Gondwanaland was in the southern hemisphere.
Gondwanaland
After Pangaea, the supercontinent split into two main landmasses: Laurasia in the northern hemisphere and Gondwanaland in the southern hemisphere. Laurasia eventually broke up into North America, Europe, and Asia, while Gondwanaland split into South America, Africa, India, Antarctica, and Australia.
Laurasia and Gondwanaland were two supercontinents that existed during the Mesozoic Era. Laurasia was in the Northern Hemisphere and eventually broke apart to form North America, Europe, and Asia. Gondwanaland was in the Southern Hemisphere and broke apart to form South America, Africa, Antarctica, Australia, and the Indian subcontinent.

Antarctica is fully contained in the Southern Hemisphere.
Laurasia and Gondwanaland
Gondwanaland - Australian band - ended in 1992.
Gondwanaland - Australian band - was created in 1981.
South America is entirely contained in the Western Hemisphere, but split between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
Gondwana (originally Gondwanaland) is an hypothesized ancient southern supercontinent comprising most of the landmasses in today's southern hemisphere, including Antarctica, South America, Africa, Madagascar, Australia-New Guinea and New Zealand, as well as Arabia and the Indian subcontinent, which are in the Northern Hemisphere. Gondwana is thought to have formed roughly 510 million years ago and to have lasted until about 150 million years ago.
The South Pole is contained entirely in the Southern Hemisphere. As well, it is half in the Eastern and half in the Western hemispheres.
