Question

africa and europe
europe and laurasia
gondwanaland and north america
laurasia and gondwanaland

Explanation:

Pangaea began to break apart around 200 million years ago. The first major split was into two super - continents: Laurasia (which included parts like North America, Europe, and Asia) and Gondwanaland (which included South America, Africa, Antarctica, Australia, and the Indian sub - continent). Africa and Europe were part of larger landmasses at the initial split. Europe was part of Laurasia. Gondwanaland and North America were not the two first - formed landmasses. So, the correct answer is Laurasia and Gondwanaland.

Answer:

D. Laurasia and Gondwanaland
