Pangaea begins to break up. Pangaea or Pangea (/paenËdÊiËÉ/) pÃ¦nËdÊiËÉ was a supercontinent that existed during the Late paleozoic and Early mesozoic. Eras it assembled from earlier continental units approximately 300 million years, ago and it began to break apart about 175 million years. agot assembled from earlier continental units approximately 300 million years ago, and it began to break apart about 175 million years ago. In contrast to the present Earth and its distribution of continental mass, much of Pangaea was in the southern hemisphere and surrounded by a super ocean, Panthalassa.
Breakup of Pangaea. At about 200 million years ago, Pangaea isn't quite Pan-Gaea because China and southeast Asia, as well as portions of Iran and Tibet, have not quite attached. Just as pieces of China are beginning to attach, Laurasia (North America + Eurasia) breaks away. It is tempting to wonder if the two events might be connected.
