    global wind patterns

    ocean currents

    global climates

    Explanation:

    Pangaea was the last super-continent that included all continental masses in it. Having only one major land mass on the planet caused lot of changes, and so did the breaking apart of this land mass into multiple different land masses.

    The global wind patters were heavily affected by the breakup of Pangaea, as the once vast land mass was now divided into numerous smaller pieces that were separated by water, which in turn cause big changes in the movement and properties of the air masses.

    The ocean currents too had big changes. Some parts of Pangaea were moving in the path of some ocean currents, so they were stopped, while on the other side they were opening up space for new ocean currents to form.

    The change of the wind patterns and the ocean currents, as well as having much smaller land masses, all cause changes in the climate around the globe, so every continent started to become unique in its climate types.
