some scientists are starting to think that the earth was once separated and then over millions of years the continents came together as one forming Pangaea which is the Latin root meaning and i quote "all earth." when i was in fifth grade we learned about Pangaea and it happens to be the mantel that formed Pangaea! the mantel moves like an ocean current and the crust (the land part of earth) floats on it so that is how Pangaea formed i hope my answer helped you understand it a little bit better!! :)
