1. pangea

   Pangaea or Pangea () was a supercontinent that existed during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras. It assembled from the earlier continental units of Gondwana, Euramerica and Siberia during the Carboniferous approximately 335 million years ago, and began to break apart about 200 million years ago, at the end of the Triassic and beginning of the Jurassic. In contrast to the present Earth and its distribution of continental mass, Pangaea was centred on the equator and surrounded by the superocean Panthalassa and the Paleo-Tethys and subsequent Tethys Oceans. Pangaea is the most recent supercontinent to have existed and the first to be reconstructed by geologists.

1. pangea

   Pangea is a hypothetical supercontinent that existed during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras, about 335 million to 175 million years ago. It is believed to have incorporated almost all of Earth's continental blocks into a single landmass. The concept of Pangea is central to the theory of continental drift and plate tectonics.

Examples of pangea in a Sentence

1. Steve Brusatte:

   As Pangea split there were huge volcanic eruptions, about 200 million years ago, and these plunged the world into chaos: environmental destruction and rapid climate swings, the big amphibians couldn't cope well and many species went extinct, but dinosaurs and mammals made it through.
