Plate tectonics had arranged the world's continents into a single massive landmasses: Pangaea. Today I attempt to use my knowledge of geography to create a basic map of what this land might have ...

By the start of the Triassic, all the Earth's landmasses had coalesced to form Pangaea, a supercontinent shaped like a giant C that straddled the Equator and extended toward the Poles. Almost as ...
