"The Rock Cycle" by J.P. Taylor and the Academics tells us that:
 "Two-hundred million years ago/ Pangaea was the land below./ Continents they drift apart/ 'Cause molten rock is in earth's heart."

Here's what our world looked like as Pangaea.  To help you visualize it a bit more, modern country borders are included, but obviously they were not around back in the olden days!
