Pangaea began to break up during the Triassic period, approximately 200 million years ago, which resulted in the formation of two large land masses, Laurasia and Gondwana.
Pangaea, the supercontinent that existed millions of years ago, broke up into two major parts during the Mesozoic Era. More specifically, this breakup occurred in the early Jurassic period, around 180 million years ago. This process resulted in the formation of two new continents known as Laurasia (to the north) and Gondwana (to the south). Over time, these two landmasses further fragmented into the continents we recognize today.
