The break-up of Pangaea began during the Mesozoic era with the rifting apart of North America and Africa, creating the Atlantic Ocean. The formation of the Himalayan Mountains and the end of the Ordovician are both events that happened before the Mesozoic era and are not related to the break-up of Pangaea.
