When the continents were together it was called "pangea"
Continental drift is the theory that explains how the Earth's continents have moved over time due to the process of plate tectonics. About 300 million years ago, all the continents were part of a supercontinent called Pangaea. Over time, the movement of tectonic plates has separated and repositioned the continents to their current locations.
The theory that the continents used to be one single land mass all "pushed together" is called pangaea
Eurasia
The largest land masses are called continents.
The land mass was called Pangaea before the continents split into the continents we know today. Pangaea was a supercontinent that existed about 335 million years ago.
Eurasia is the single land mass that consists of Europe and Asia. It is the largest contiguous landmass on Earth, and the terms Europe and Asia are used to distinguish the western and eastern parts of this landmass.
Pangea
The land mass that made up all the continents is called Pangaea. It was a supercontinent that existed millions of years ago before the continents drifted apart to their current positions.
The early continents are known as "cratons" or "proto-continents." These were the building blocks of the current continents and formed during the Precambrian era.
The giant landmass was known as 'Pangea', before the continental drift separated the land into diffrent continents.
It is called Eurasia. Because technacilly they are the same continent. They are not separated by water.
