• RodiniaCompared with: Pangaea formed hundreds of millions of years after Rodinia, in a later supercontinent cycle.

• Alpine orogenyRelated: Its breakup initiated the plate rearrangements that eventually opened and closed the Tethys realm.

• Carboniferous rainforest collapseRelated: Its continental interiors and changing geography influenced tropical climate patterns.

• Indo-Australian plateNarrower topic: Its breakup began the sequence of continental separations that eventually isolated India and Australia.

• EurasiaNarrower topic: Its breakup shaped the continents and ocean basins surrounding modern Eurasia.

• Late JurassicNarrower topic: Its breakup was reshaping continental positions during the Late Jurassic.

• LaurasiaNarrower topic: Laurasia was the northern part of Pangaea after the supercontinent began splitting.

• Karoo SupergroupRelated: Karoo deposition took place while southern Africa lay within Pangaea.

• South American PlateNarrower topic: Its breakup set the larger context for South America’s later separation.

• Iapetus OceanNarrower topic: The ocean’s closure contributed to the larger assembly of this supercontinent.
