Question
The illustration shows roughly how changes in Earth's crust have moved the continents over time. The time line at the base of the figure shows the general geologic periods and eras for each of the continental configurations shown. The faint lines drawn through the ancient supercontinents of Gondwana, Pangea, and Laurasia outline the modern continents that these supercontinents contained. The color difference between the continents helps to draw your attention to which continents formed Gondwana (twice) and which continents formed Laurasia.
