Big picture, Pangaea existed 300M years ago and then began to slowly crack apart and break up 200M years ago.
Put in that perspective there has been minuscule change.
Just an ebbing and flowing, really.

I guess for me, the observable and scary difference, between now and 200M years ago, is overpopulation, and the resulting irreversible damage to previously unpopulated and untouched areas. That just doesn't look like ebb and flow to me, and it doesn't look to be slowing down any time soon. The Earth seems to be changing much more rapidly now, then it did in the time of Pangaea...So, some of those images made me think about that...
