The Earth as we know it today is the result of billions of years of geological activity, where continents have shifted, ...

Over 300 million years ago, all the continents we know today were joined together in a massive supercontinent called Pangaea.

Here’s how it works. Pangaea was a massive supercontinent that formed between 320 million and 195 million years ago. At that time, Earth didn't have seven continents, but instead one giant one ...

Almost immediately after all the Earth's continents were amalgamated into the supercontinent Pangaea, rifting began to tear it apart. Subduction of the oceanic region of the Pangaean plate beneath ...

Since then, chunks of Pangaea have drifted apart and recombined in new ways. So which is the largest continent today? And what about the smallest? The answer depends on what counts as a continent.

Here's a fun fact: According to the United States Geological Survey, every single continent on the planet was once a single, comprehensive landmass known as Pangea. Pangea existed as it did for ...

plates, and it is thought that continents move or new continents are created as various plates move relative to each other. Scientists have announced that when a supercontinent called Pangea ...
