Pangea | Definition, Map, History, Facts | Britannica How long ago did Pangea exist? Pangea existed between about 299 million years ago (at the start of the Permian Period of geological time) to about 180 million years ago (during the Jurassic Period) It remained in its fully assembled state for some 100 million years before it began to break up
What was Pangea? | U. S. Geological Survey - USGS. gov From about 300-200 million years ago (late Paleozoic Era until the very late Triassic), the continent we now know as North America was contiguous with Africa, South America, and Europe They all existed as a single continent called Pangea

Power of Plate Tectonics: Pangaea | AMNH About 200 million years ago, all the continents on Earth were actually one huge "supercontinent" surrounded by one enormous ocean This gigantic continent, called Pangaea, slowly broke apart and spread out to form the continents we know today
Supercontinent Pangea - U. S. National Park Service Before the Triassic began, approximately 252 million years ago, the plates had moved in such a way that all of the major landmasses had collided with each other, forming a supercontinent which is called Pangea This had taken hundreds of millions of years as one continent after another was collected in the whole
Pangaea - Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Pangaea[2] was the global supercontinent which formed in the Palaeozoic era The process started about 450 million years ago (mya) and was complete by 210 mya So, apart from some volcanic islands (not proven, but very likely), all the land areas were collected together in one big supercontinent
Spotting a Supercontinent: How Pangea Was Discovered German meteorologist Alfred Wegener first presented the concept of Pangea (meaning “all lands”) along with the first comprehensive theory of continental drift, the idea that Earth’s continents slowly move relative to one another, at a conference in 1912 and later in his book The Origin of Continents and Oceans (1915)
