Pangaea (Pangæa or Pangea) - from παν, pan, meaning entire, and Γαῖα, Gaea, meaning Earth in Ancient Greek - was the supercontinent that existed during the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras about 250 million years ago, before the component continents were separated into their current configuration.

Here we use it for a placeholder for an actual continent or continental/oceanic region.
