Pangea first separated into two large land masses in Mesozoic Era(from 245 to 64 million years ago) or in Triassic Period.
Pangaea broke into Gondwana and Laurasia approx. 180 million years ago.

Pangaea began breaking apart around 200 million years ago during the Triassic period. This separation eventually led to the formation of the continents we see today.
During the time of Pangaea, most landmasses were concentrated together as a supercontinent, so there weren't many individual islands like Hawaii or Easter Island. Most of the Earth's surface was part of Pangaea, with few separate islands. It was only after the breakup of Pangaea that the continents shifted to create separate islands as we see them today.
No, Pangaea separated into two main supercontinents called Laurasia and Gondwana. These two supercontinents eventually broke apart to form the continents we have today.
Pangaea separated into Laurasia (North America, Europe, and Asia) and Gondwana (South America, Africa, Antarctica, Australia, and the Indian subcontinent) during the Mesozoic Era.
Pangaea began to break apart around 175 million years ago during the Jurassic period. This breakup eventually led to the formation of two separate landmasses known as Laurasia (in the north) and Gondwana (in the south).
About 335 million years ago, Earth's continents were connected in a supercontinent known as Pangaea. Over time, Pangaea broke apart into separate landmasses that eventually drifted to their current positions.
