Millions of years ago, the Earth looked very different. A huge landmass, called Pangea, covered about a third of our planet. But about 175 million years ago, the Earth broke apart into continents, and formed the world we know today.

"Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it, we go nowhere." — Carl Sagan
