We all heard about the Pangaea, an ancient supercontinent that existed during the geologic ages of the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras. Approximately it was 335 million years old. This supercontinent began to break apart about 200 million years ago due to a supervolcano. The same volcano is responsible for the diamond deposits in southern Africa and the gem deposits of Sri Lanka and Madagascar. During these days we were located too south. Hence our landmass was covered with ice. If we had been located in the northern hemisphere as we are now, we could have been blessed with coal or fossil fuels. I've found this cool map about this supercontinent that shows the current borders of the world, and I'd like to share it with you.
