Gondwana

GondwanaCf. gondwanensis et gondwanicus in binominibus. fuit continens praehistorica, cuius partes America Australis, Antarctica, Australia, Nova Zelandia, Africa, Arabia, Madagascaria, et India sunt. 

Primum Gondwana et Laurasia ortae sunt, cum  Rodinia rupta esset. Haec continentes saepe "Protogondwana" et "Protolaurasia" nominantur, ut a posterioribus distinguantur. Postea in Pannotia coniunctae iterum separatae sunt, ut tertia vice in  Pangaea aevo Carbonifero coniungerentur. 

Pangaea aevo Iurassico rupta Tethys oceanus Gondwanam et Laurasiam separavit. Tempore Mesozoico, Gondwana in multas partes disrupta est; primo in duas. quarum occidentalis Africam, Arabiam et Americam Australem continebat, orientalis autem Indostaniam, Madagascariam, Australiam et Antarctidem. Freto Mozambicensi duae partes separatae sunt. 

Abhinc 100 milliones annorum Africa ab America Australi separata est et Oceanus Atlanticus ortus est; 90 milliones India a Madagascaria et 10 milliones Australia ab Antarctide. Partes Gondwanae motae Laurasiam illiserunt et montium formationis causa fuerunt; Africae pressio Alpes creavit, Indiae autem Himalaya.

Gondwanae nomen  de regione Indiae excogitavit, ubi geologica huius continentis documenta inventa sunt.
