Gondwana....what?

Gondwanaland was a southern supercontinent that existed about 500 to 200 million years ago. Gondwana included most of the landmasses in today's southern hemisphere, including Antarctica, South America, Africa, Madagascar, Australia, New Guinea, and New Zealand, as well as Arabia and Indian. Gondwana began to break up about 167 million years ago, when East Gondwana, comprising Antarctica, Madagascar, India and Australia, began to separate from Africa. South America began to drift slowly westward from Africa Australia began to separate from Antarctica perhaps 80 million years ago. New Zealand probably separated from Antarctica between 130 and 85 million years ago.
