200 million years ago, Scotland was part of the supercontinent known as Pangaea. It was located near the equator, experiencing a warm and humid climate with lush vegetation. Scotland did not have its current shape and geography at that time.
It took approximately 200 million years for Pangaea to split apart and form the continents as we see them today. The process of the breakup started in the Triassic period, around 200 million years ago, and continued through the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.
The name of the single landmass that broke apart 200 million years ago is Pangaea.
Pangaea began breaking up around 200 million years ago during the Jurassic period. Over millions of years, the landmass slowly separated into the continents we see today.
Pangaea formed about 300 million years ago and began to rift about 200 million years ago.The formation and falling apart of super continents appears to be cyclical. Pangaea is the fourth super continent in Earth's history.Known super continents:Columbia (2 billion years to 1.8 billion years ago)Rodinia (1.1 billion years ago to 750 million years ago)Pannotia (600 million years ago to 540 million years ago)Pangea (300 million years ago to 200 million years ago)
200 million years ago, the Earth was known as Pangaea, a supercontinent that existed during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras. This landmass eventually broke apart to form the continents we recognize today.
40 million years ago
Pangea began to drift apart about 200 million years ago. Pangea split into two smaller continents: Gondwana and Laurasia. These continents lasted from about 200 million years ago to 100 million years ago.
200 million years ago the only creatures capable of powered flight were insects and pterosaurs.
The southern continent that existed 200 million years ago was called Gondwana.
200 million to 65 million years ago.

200 million years ago
The gigantic supercontinent that existed 200 million years ago was named Pangaea. It is theorized to have formed around 335 million years ago and began breaking apart around 175 million years ago.
It took approximately 200 million years for Pangaea to split apart and form the continents as we see them today. The process of the breakup started in the Triassic period, around 200 million years ago, and continued through the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.
Only at the very end of that period. Turtles first appeared about 210 million years ago. There were no reptiles 400 million years ago.
