Africa, like the other continents, is the product of continental drift. At an earlier period in the Earth's history, there was only one continent, known as Pangaea, and this broke up and formed the continents as we know them today, as a result of the force exerted on the crust by currents in the underlying magma of the mantle. The whole process is essentially random. The shape of Africa is an accident.
