During the Carboniferous, southern Gondwana moved over the south pole, resulting in glaciation that
produced global sea level changes. Gondwana moved northward, collided with Laurasia during the
Early Carboniferous and continued suturing with it during the rest of the Carboniferous. Finally,
Gondwana and Laurasia came together, and Siberia collided with Kazakhstania and moved toward
Laurasia, colliding with it during the Early Permian. Other continental collisions occurred during the
Permian. A single enormous ocean Panthalassa surrounded Pangaea and spanned Earth pole to pole.
