Question: Are there any countries that weren't a part of the pangea and how were they made?

HI homie,

Pangea was a supercontinent that formed when all the continental plates collided together about 300 million years ago.

The earth’s surface is made up of a number of tectonic plates that all move around very slowly (usually about 5cm a year). Some tectonic plates are oceanic, some are continental. Most of the major land masses are on continental plates. About 300 million years ago, all the major continental plates happened to drift into each other and collide, forming one large supercontinent, which we call Pangea. All the major continental plates were involved, so there probably wouldn’t have been much land anywhere else – perhaps the odd oceanic island at most. The ocean that surrounded Pangea is called Panathalassa.

About 200 million years ago they all begain to split up again. The Atlantic Ocean split apart to separate America from Europe and Africa, while the Indian and Southern Oceans split apart Antarctica, India, Australia and Africa. The continents are still drifting at the moment, so at some point millions of year in the future they’ll probably come together to form another supercontinent.
