1. gondwanaland

   Gondwana ( ) was a large landmass, often referred to as a supercontinent, that formed during the late Neoproterozoic (about 550 million years ago) and began to break up during the Jurassic period (about 180 million years ago). The final stages of break-up, involving the separation of Antarctica from South America (forming the Drake Passage) and Australia, occurred during the Paleogene. Gondwana was not considered a supercontinent by the earliest definition, since the landmasses of Baltica, Laurentia, and Siberia were separated from it. To differentiate it from the Indian region of the same name (see § Name), it is also commonly called Gondwanaland.Gondwana was formed by the accretion of several cratons. Eventually, Gondwana became the largest piece of continental crust of the Palaeozoic Era, covering an area of about 100,000,000 km2 (39,000,000 sq mi), about one-fifth of the Earth's surface. During the Carboniferous Period, it merged with Laurasia to form a larger supercontinent called Pangaea. Gondwana (and Pangaea) gradually broke up during the Mesozoic Era. The remnants of Gondwana make up around two-thirds of today's continental area, including South America, Africa, Antarctica, Australia, Zealandia, Arabia, and the Indian Subcontinent. The formation of Gondwana began c. 800 to 650 Ma with the East African Orogeny, the collision of India and Madagascar 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.Regions that were part of Gondwana shared floral and zoological elements that persist to the present day.

1. gondwanaland

   Gondwanaland, also known as Gondwana, is the name given to a historical geologic landmass or supercontinent that incorporated present-day South America, Africa, Madagascar, Australia, Antarctica, and India. It existed from the Neoproterozoic (about 600 million years ago) until the Jurassic period (about 180 million years ago) when it began to break apart due to tectonic forces, eventually forming the continents we know today. Its name derives from the region in central India, known as "Gondwana," a word originally used to describe the tribal groups living there.

The album is the second Steriod Maximus album of instrumental soundtrack music to an imaginary film.
