Pangaea

"This world is older than any of you know. Contrary to popular mythology, it did not begin as a paradise."

In days long past, all of the continents of Earth were fused together in one supercontinent known as Pangaea

Fiction

Cyberverse cartoon

When the Ark crashed on Earth, it did so during the era of Pangea. Ejected from the ship before its crash, Grimlock mapped the supercontinent to try to locate the Ark only for an asteroid impact to knock him into stasis lock. In the modern day, when he showed his map to his friends, Teletraan-X used it, alongside the Ark's entry trajectory and records of continental drift, to determine where the ship had ended up.

Trivia

• In real life, Pangaea is estimated to have split up somewhere around 175 million years ago as opposed to the 65-66 million year timeframe given by the cartoon. In fact, by the time the Ark arrived the continents had already drifted into a roughly modern layout. Then again, this isn't the first cartoon to cock up the geography of prehistoric Earth.
