I don't mean like "australia, north america, south america, asia, europe, africa, antartica" all those, but i mean like pangea, whats the current name? I know its not pangea because obiously the continents are placed together xD

Answer 1

North America and South America are now treated as separate continents in much of Western Europe, India, China, and most native English-speaking countries, such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Furthermore, the concept of two American continents is prevalent in much of Asia. However, in earlier times they were viewed as a single continent known as America or, to avoid ambiguity with the United States of America, as the Americas. However, the plurality of this last term suggests that even in these "earlier times" some considered the New World (the Americas) as two separate continents. North and South America are viewed as a single continent, one of six in total, in some parts of Europe, and much of Latin America.

When continents are defined as discrete landmasses, embracing all the contiguous land of a body, then Asia, Europe and Africa form a single continent known by various names such as Afro-Eurasia. This produces a four-continent model consisting of Afro-Eurasia, the Americas, Antarctica and Australia.

When sea levels were lower during the Pleistocene ice age, greater areas of continental shelf were exposed as dry land, forming land bridges. At this time Australia-New Guinea was a single, continuous continent. Likewise North America and Asia were joined by the Bering land bridge. Other islands such as Great Britain were joined to the mainlands of their continents. At that time there were just three discrete continents: Afro-Eurasia-America, Antarctica and Australia-New Guinea.

Answer 2

Can you clarify your question? Are you asking about old names for the continents we have now? If so, it's easy to find on many Geography sites.

There's no current name for Pangaea. This name is used for a "supercontinent," which existed about 250 million years ago before the continents separated. Since there's no supercontinent now, there's no new name for it.

Answer 3

I only know "Eurasia". Hope it still helps :D

Answer 4

Before the Pangea, I don't know the names...

Pangea had nearly all the lands, and then it divided to Laurasia and Godwana.  Then Godwana divided in India, SouthAmerica, Antarctica and Australia.  North America separated from Eurasia.
