There are two possible answers for this question:

  • Pangaea is a part of Laurasia
  • Pangaea is a part of Gondwanaland

Answer: Options (a),(b)

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Pangaea is one of the super-continent developed by our earth and it broke up into two continents.
  • One is the larger continent of Northern Hemisphere named Laurasia and the other one is the southern continent named Gondwanaland.

The broke up of Pangaea occurs in three phases, such as:

  • The first phase occurs in Early-Middle Jurrasic Period, where Pangaea begins to rift from the Tethys Ocean in the east to west.
  • The second phase occurs in Early Cretaceous, where the minor continent of Gondwanaland gets separated into multiple continents.
  • The third phase occurs in Cenozoic, where Eurasia splits Laurasia from North America.
