Gondwana Fragmentation

Gondwana Fragmentation is a geological theory that explains the progressive breakup of the supercontinent Gondwana into constituent continental masses through Mesozoic plate tectonic processes, distinguished from other continental drift mechanisms by its focus on the specific timing, kinematics, and paleogeographic reorganization of the southern landmasses.
