İngilizce - İngilizce
A supercontinent including most of the landmasses which make up today's continents of the northern hemisphere
the very large area of land that existed about 200 million years ago, before it broke apart to form North America, Europe, Asia, and Greenland Gondwanaland Pangaea. Hypothetical former supercontinent in the Southern Hemisphere, which included modern North America, Europe, and Asia (except peninsular India). The concept that the continents were at one time joined was first set forth in detail by Alfred Wegener in 1912. He envisioned a single great landmass, Pangaea, which supposedly began to separate in the Late Triassic Epoch (227-206 million years ago). Subsequent research distinguished between a northern landmass, Laurasia, and Gondwana. Laurasia is thought to have fragmented into the present continents largely during the Mesozoic Era.

A supercontinent including most of the landmasses which make up todays continents of the northern hemisphere
The name given to a hypothetical northern hemisphere supercontinent consisting of North America, Europe, and Asia north of Himalayas prior to breaking up into its separate components It was formed in the early Mesozoic by the rifting of Pangaea along the line of the North Atlantic Ocean and the Tethys Sea The southern hemisphere analogue was called Gondwanaland and both comprised a hypothetical single supercontinent called Pangaea before their splitting up
The ancient continental land mass that is thought to have split apart to form Europe, Asia, North America, and Greenland
The northern continental mass produced in the early Mesozoic by the initial rifting of Pangaea along the line of the North Atlantic Ocean and Tethys Laurasia included what was to become N America, Greenland, Europe, and Asia, while the large, southern, continental mass (called Gondwanaland) was later to divide into S America, Africa, India, Australia, and Antarctica
a hypothetical continent that (according to plate tectonic theory) broke up later into North America and Europe and Asia
Northern section of Pangaea
The land of the hawk; Arynethian continent located in the north, beside Kyano and above Midacia Location of the Great Hall of the Majani The terrain is covered with forests, with the exception of where rivers flow through, mountains rise up, and the Great Laurasian Plain Major cities include Beal and Mount Freeland
