Gondwana was one of the early continental groups on Earth. During the Cambrian, it lay in the south opposite to Laurentia and Baltica in the north. During the Devonian, the smaller continent of Euramerica crashed into Gondwana, forcing up huge mountain ranges. In the Jurassic, a new Gondwana continent came from the breakup of the supercontinent of Pangaea along with Laurasia, from which it was separated by what would become the Gulf of Mexico. In the Cretaceous, Gondwana split into South America, Antarctica, Australia and India whilst, in the north, Laurasia began to split into what would become North America and Asia.
