Year: assembled ~335–300 million years ago (late Carboniferous–Permian).
What: plate convergence and collision fused continents into the supercontinent Pangea.
Plates involved: Gondwana, Laurussia (Laurentia + Baltica + Avalonia), Siberia and several microplates (e.g., Kazakhstania, Cimmeria).
How it changed Earth: formed one giant landmass, built major mountain belts (Appalachians, Urals, Variscan), reduced shallow seas, created arid continental interiors, and reorganized climate, ocean circulation and habitats.
