Question

What was Laurentia and what lands was it composed of? What happened to it?

Answer 1

Laurentia, also called the North American Craton, is a huge continental craton. It forms the ancient geological core of the continent of North America. It is made up of present day North America and Greenland. About 300 million years ago, it collided with the southern hemispheric continent of Gondwana and formed the supercontinent called Pangaea.
