the last super continent that broke apart to form today 's landmasses is known by what name
Supercontinent The Phanerozoic supercontinent Pangaea began to break up 215 Ma and is still doing so today. Because Pangaea is the most recent of Earth's supercontinents, it is the most well known and understood. Contributing to Pangaea's popularity in the classroom is the fact that its reconstruction is almost as simple as fitting the present continents bordering the Atlantic-type oceans like puzzle pieces.[4]
Gondwana The formation of Gondwana began c. 800 to 650 Ma with the East African Orogeny – the collision of India, Madagascar, and Sri Lanka with East Africa – and was completed c. 600 to 530 Ma with the overlapping Brasiliano and Kuunga orogenies – the collision of South America with Africa and the addition of Australia and Antarctica, respectively.[4]
