Gondwanaland is a professional networking forum for geoscientists focusing on earth science disciplines such as geology, geochemistry, geophysics, geochronology, environmental science, environmental management, engineering, petroleum, and GIS applications, palaeontology, palaeoanthropology, atmospheric science, hydrogeology, economic geology, exploration and mining geoscience.
Description
- Gondwana, also called Gondwanaland, the second largest continent of the Palaeozoic Era (545 to 248 million years ago), making up more than 70 per cent of the Earth’s continental area at its maximum extent. Confined to the southern hemisphere, this enormous land mass was involved in a series of collisions with other continental blocks, culminating in the formation of the supercontinent known as Pangaea during the Permian Period. The subsequent rifting of Pangaea during the Mesozoic Era resulted in the origins of the modern continents, and the massive Gondwanan element fragmented into South America, Africa, Madagascar, India, Australia, New Zealand, Antarctica, and a jigsaw of other smaller pieces found through Central America, the Mediterranean, the Middle East, the Himalaya, and parts of the Pacific and Arctic Oceans.
