The original landmass, Pangaea, split into

  • A.Laurasia in the north and Gondwanaland in the south
  • B.Laurasia in the south and Gondwanaland in the north
  • C.Laurasia in the east and Gondwanaland in the west
  • D.Laurasia in the west and Gondwanaland in the east

Answer: A

Pangaea, the single supercontinent of the late Palaeozoic, began to break apart in the Jurassic into two landmasses: Laurasia in the north - North America, Europe and most of Asia - and Gondwanaland in the south, comprising South America, Africa, Arabia, India, Australia and Antarctica.

The two were separated by the Tethys Sea, whose closure later raised the Alps and the Himalaya.
