The correct matches are:

A. Pangaea - 4. Supercontinent

Pangaea was the last supercontinent out of the numerous ones that have appeared throughout the geologic timescale. Pangaea, with its breaking apart, gave birth to the modern day continents.

B. Panthalassa - 1. Super Ocean

A super ocean is an ocean where all of the ocean waters are actually one ocean, without having barriers between them that will distinguish them from one another.

C. Himalayas - 2. Caused by continents colliding

The pushing of the Indian plate in the Eurasian plate has cause lifting of the land, thus over time creating a mountain range, the highest one in the world, the Himalayan Mountain Range, which is still growing in height in the present.

D. Magma - 3. Generated in subduction zones

The subduction zones are the places where one plate goes beneath the other, and from the space between them the magma is able to penetrate towards he surface, thus creating volcanic activities.
