    Pangea

    Pangea break-up
    A supercontinent that existed from about 300 to 200 million years ago. It included most of the continental crust of the Earth. Pangea formed during the late Paleozoic Era when several smaller continents collided, welding together to form a single supercontinent.

    The animation shown here begins early in the Mesozoic Era, during the Triassic Period, and shows the motion of the continents to their present positions.
