I SAW IT in a book about the past all the continents were all hooked together but something broke it apart.
America was actually once connected to Australia.
The theory is is that once all the continents were connected as 1 super continent. Later they split up to create the 7 we know now.
It was once attached to North America.
It's Asia! Don't you look at maps!? Sorry, sometimes I'm rude like that.

Pangaea was a supercontinent that existed about 335 million years ago, and it included almost all of Earth's landmasses joined together. It had a distinctive single landmass configuration, with some of the current continents as we know them today joined into one large landmass.
AnswerPangea. This is part of the plate tectonic theory.AnswerWhen all the continents are connected, it's called a supercontinent. There have been multiple supercontinents in Earth's history.Alfred Wegener theorised that there was originally a super continent he named Urkontinent which existed before the continents were seperated and moved into their current locations. He come up with this theory in 1912. In 1928 the term Urkontinent was changed to the name we know today Pangaea or Pangea.Please see the related links.
The theory is called "continental drift," and it proposes that the Earth's continents were once connected as one supercontinent called Pangaea.
One piece of evidence that indicates the continents were once connected is the shape of the continents. Many of the continents look as if they fit together like a puzzle.
Pangea was a hypothetical land area believed to have once connected nearly all of the earth's landmasses together.
The super-continent proposed by the theory of continental drift is called Pangaea. It is believed to have existed about 300 million years ago and subsequently broke apart to form the continents as we know them today.
The first place to look for the closest country would be to know which continent Chile is located in, which is South America. Once you know the continent, this eliminates hundreds of other options. There are several countries that are relatively close (within 2000 KM), but Argentina is the closest.
