On April 1st 2008 Google revealed a one-day April Fool's Joke in Google Earth.
If you turned on the "Geographic Web" layer and zoomed all the way out then the Earth's continents merge into the Pangea supercontinent map as it may have appeared millions of years ago.
You can see a video of this April's fool joke in the related links.
Sadly Google disabled this "special" feature and you can't simply change the time in Google Earth to see the Pangeasupercontinent.

How many continents did earth have at the time of Pangaea?
Actually according to my scientific calculations Pangaea means all Earth toghether.So 1 because at the time it was Pangaea all the land masses were together.
Were there people living on earth when pangaea was around?
No people were not around when Pangaea was. The time of Pangaea was before the time of the dinosaurs (they came in the Jurasic era) and we are supposed to have evoled from some types of dinosuars.
What was the earth called a long time ago when the plates were together?
It is still called Earth.
How is Pangaea different from Earth today?
Mainly that in the time of Pangaea, all of the land masses (or most of them) were joined into a single super-continent.
What was the configuration of oceans during the time of the supercontinent Pangaea?
During the time of Pangaea, about 250 million years ago, most of Earth's water was collected in a huge ocean called Panthalassa
What are the geological events in the Permian time period?
Many asteroids hit the earth during this time and the Pangaea which is when earth was one big super-continent
How get real-time pics of Google Earth?
The aerial, satellite, and Street View imagery in Google Earth is not real-time (or live). But there is also a webcam layer integrated into Google Earth (enabled in Gallery layer) that can show "live" scenes at selected locations.
What did earths continents look like?
Approximately 300 million years ago, the Earth's continents were joined together in a supercontinent known as Pangaea. Over time, Pangaea split apart to form the continents as we recognize them today.
Why did the Pangaea broke into 7 continents of the world?
The breakup of Pangaea into the seven continents was primarily driven by the movement of Earth's tectonic plates. Over millions of years, the plates shifted, causing Pangaea to split apart and create the continents as we know them today. This process, known as continental drift, continues to shape the Earth's geology and landforms.
What does the earth continents used to look like?
Approximately 335 million years ago, all the Earth's continents were joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea. Over time, due to the movement of tectonic plates, Pangaea began to break apart, leading to the formation of the continents as we know them today.
Are Google earth pictures taken in real time?
yes
How long ago were all the earths continents connected?
About 335 million years ago, Earth's continents were connected in a supercontinent known as Pangaea. Over time, Pangaea broke apart into separate landmasses that eventually drifted to their current positions.
