Pangaea began to drift during the Late Jurassic period, around 175 million years ago. This process of continental drift was driven by tectonic forces and continued through the Cretaceous period, leading to the eventual formation of the modern continents. By the end of the Cretaceous, around 66 million years ago, Pangaea had largely separated into the continents we recognize today.

The plate tectonics are the mechanisms that started to drift Pangaea (super continent) into separate continents 200billion years ago into the continents we have today. :D
Wegener's theory of continental drift assumed the existence of one original supercontinent called Pangaea.
The concept of Pangaea, the supercontinent, was first proposed by Alfred Wegener in 1912 as part of his theory of continental drift.
Continental Drift caused pangaea to seperate.
It hasn't moved. The world today as is was when it was created.

continental drift
The concept of Pangaea, the supercontinent that existed during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras, was first proposed in the early 20th century. Alfred Wegener, a German scientist, introduced the idea of Pangaea in 1912 as part of his theory of continental drift.
The supercontinent that separated into smaller land masses due to continental drift is called Pangaea.
Continental Drift
The theory of Pangaea is called the continental drift theory. It proposes that Earth's continents were once joined together in a single large landmass that later broke apart and drifted into their current positions.
Continental drift caused Pangaea, the supercontinent, to break apart into separate landmasses over millions of years. This movement resulted in the creation of the continents we know today and influenced the formation of oceans and mountain ranges.
Yes
about 175 million years ago.
