The continents are basically floating, and like anything floating, they drift.

The continents split due to the process of plate tectonics. This occurs when the Earth's crust is divided into several large and small tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid layer of the mantle. Over millions of years, these plates move apart or collide, causing continents to drift away from each other or come together.
