Formation and County Seats[edit] Prince Edward County, Virginia was formed in the Virginia Colony in 1754 from Amelia County. It was named for Prince Edward, second son of Frederick, Prince of Wales and younger brother of George III of the United Kingdom.
Around 300 Mya Gondwana and Laurasia joined together to form the supercontinent Pangaea, which existed until approximately 200-180 Mya. Gondwana then separated from Laurasia (the mid-Mesozoic era) in the breakup of Pangaea, drifting farther south after the split. Gondwana itself then also broke apart. Gondwana included most of the landmasses in today's Southern Hemisphere, including Antarctica, South America, Africa, Madagascar, and the Australian continent, as well as the Arabian Peninsula and the Indian Subcontinent, which have now moved entirely into the Northern Hemisphere.
Pangea began its break up in the Triassic Period. North America and Gondwana first separated followed by the separation of Mexico with South America and North America with Africa.The Atlantic ocean began to form in the Northern hemisphere.angaea was a supercontinent that formed around 300 million years ago and began to break up around 175 million years ago. It was a roughly C-shaped landmass that had all of ou â¦ r modern continents together as one. Its name is Ancient Greek.
