Earth, without water, is a giant ball of rock. It is full of enormous valleys, mountains, plateaus, etc. However, with water, most of these valleys and trenches are covered in water, being invisible. Continents are the largest exposed area of the Earth. The continents all used to be connected, forming the largest supercontinent ever: Pangea. However, due to continental drift [which is just what it sounds like], Pangea split eventually forming the 7 continents of today.
It wasn't three continents it was all of them.
Mountains have usually formed on the edges of continents in narrow bands, where continents have collided in the past.
A super continent called Pangaea.
Continents by a couple
If you are counting the current seven continents Africa, North America, South America, Asia, Europe, Antarctica and Australia as super continents the three other super continents are: Pangea, Rodinia and Laurasia.
No, the continents are not moving back into the form of Pangea. The movement of the Earth's tectonic plates is complex and constantly changing. While some continents are moving closer together due to plate tectonics, the formation of a new supercontinent similar to Pangea is not predicted in the near future.
No. Its through paleomagnetism.
they form the 7 continents in this case.
It wasn't three continents it was all of them.
these are the plates under the land and they are spins round and when they meet and they form the continents
Tectonic plates are large sections of Earth's crust that float on the semi-fluid mantle beneath them. The continents were formed through the process of plate tectonics, where tectonic plates collided, separated, or slid past each other over millions of years. This movement caused the continents to come together to form supercontinents, break apart, and drift to their current positions.
You know, continents are chunks of big landmasses. Therefore it is impossible to form continents in just 5 years.The best evidence is that, "why did the continents are still 7 even I'm now 13 years old?"Let's say that it takes millions to billions to trillions of years to form another continent.

Rock
god did on the first day
Yes. By that time there will be changes in position, but 20 million years will not be long enough to form a supercontinent. But some form of continents will "always" exist.
