Continental Drift & Major Events Pangaea Formation & Breakup Pangaea formed ~335 million years ago in the Permian, uniting all continents. It broke apart ~175 million years ago during the Jurassic, driven by plate tectonics, shaping modern continents. Key Geological & Biological Events Cambrian Explosion (~541 Ma): Rapid life diversification. Dinosaur Extinction (~66 Ma): Asteroid impact wipes out non-avian dinosaurs. Human Evolution: Early hominins ~6-7 Ma; Homo sapiens ~300,000 years ago.<br>
