The same old forces that move the individual tectonic plates. The circulating currents of magma from the interior.
There may have been a previous episode of super-continent formation followed by break up, called Rodinia by believers.
The process that broke up Pangaea is known as continental drift. This theory states that the Earth's continents were once joined together as one supercontinent and have since drifted apart to their current positions.
The two continents that formed when Pangaea broke apart are Laurasia in the north and Gondwana in the south. These two supercontinents eventually broke up further to form the continents we have today.
Pangaea don't no
Before the continents broke apart, they were part of a single supercontinent called Pangaea. It is believed that Pangaea existed around 300 million years ago during the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras.
When Pangaea broke apart, the tectonic plates underneath the Earth's surface shifted, causing the supercontinent to split up into the continents we have today. This movement of the plates created new oceans and changed the arrangement of landmasses on Earth.
Pangaea broke into Gondwanaland and Laurasia.
No. Pangaea broke up long before humans evolved.
Nothing with any detail; Pangaea broke up millions of years ago.
The process that broke up Pangaea is known as continental drift. This theory states that the Earth's continents were once joined together as one supercontinent and have since drifted apart to their current positions.
Pangaea is a super continent made up of all the world's modern-day landmasses joined together. Since plate tectonics are now seen as a true discovery, Pangaea later broke up into Laurasia and Gondwanaland, which eventually broke up into the continents we know today.

What would happen if you broke the Styrofoam up into lots of pieces, then threw the pieces into water?
The two continents that formed when Pangaea broke apart are Laurasia in the north and Gondwana in the south. These two supercontinents eventually broke up further to form the continents we have today.
Pangaea don't no
The supercontinent that broke up about 225 million years ago is called Pangaea.
The parts that Pangaea broke into are called tectonic plates. These plates make up the Earth's lithosphere and float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below, moving slowly and causing continental drift.
