Gondwana (historic region)

Gondwana was a massive landmass that existed hundreds of millions of years ago, during the Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras. It included present-day South America, Africa, Antarctica, Australia, and India. Over time, tectonic plate movements caused Gondwana to break apart and drift into the continents we recognize today. This ancient supercontinent played a crucial role in Earth's geological history, influencing climate, flora, fauna, and the distribution of continents and ocean basins. Its legacy is visible in the geological formations and fossil records found across these regions.
