Pangaea
The name of the supercontinent that was once made up of all of Earth's current continents is Pangaea.
To answer this question, we need to know the name of the supercontinent that was once made up of all of Earth's current continents.
The possible options are:
1. Laurasia
2. Pangaea
3. Eurasia
4. Gondwana
To determine the correct answer, we can eliminate the options that are not applicable.
1. Laurasia was a supercontinent that existed during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras. However, it was not made up of all of Earth's current continents, so it is not the correct answer.
2. Pangaea was a supercontinent that existed during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras. It was made up of all of Earth's current continents, so it could be the correct answer.
3. Eurasia is a combination of Europe and Asia, which are two continents. It is not a supercontinent that was once made up of all of Earth's current continents, so it is not the correct answer.
4. Gondwana was a supercontinent that existed during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras. It was made up of all of Earth's current continents, so it could be the correct answer.
Based on this analysis, the correct answer is either Pangaea or Gondwana.
