Why did scientist reject theory of pangaea?
The idea was only rejected initially (along with continental drift, where it originated), because there was no explanation as to why/how the continents would have split up and drifted apart from the super continent Pangaea. This was of course before it was discovered that continents "float" on magma that spreads out in opposite directions at fissures in the earth's mantle.
When did Pangaea start to break up?
Pangaea started to break up during the Triassic Period. It continued to split apart in the Jurassic Period and was almost complete in breaking up in the Cretaceous Period. After that it formed into the landmasses that we see today.

What does laurasia have to do with pangaea?
Laurasia is one of two continents (the other being Gondwana) formed when Pangaea split into two sub-continents, due to plate tectonics.
What was pangaea and how does it relate to the continents today?
When the large land mass called Pangaea split apart, the plants and animals living on each continent were separated.
How did pangaea split apart?
The continental drift pulled all the continents away from each other. I LUV MUSHROOMS!
What landmass broke apart and drifted away?

How did pangaea split?
Earths magma moved under the crust and the continents split
How did Pangaea breaking apart affect life on earth?

What is pangaea and what caused pangaea to separate?
Pangea was a huge landmass made of all the continents today. Tectonic plates in the Earth moved, causing it to split apart.
