Pangaea is a time that happened nearly 300 million years ago when the Earth was at an estimated age of 3.5 billion years. Pangaea is when all the continents were combined into one landmass, and this was surrounded by the only ocean at the time, which was called Panthalassa. All forms of life on land lived together in Pangaea at that time.
