When the Earth's continents were all connected as one, it was called "Pangaea." This supercontinent existed over 300 million years ago, during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras. Pangaea eventually broke apart due to the movement of tectonic plates, leading to the formation of the continents we have today.
