Indeed they were. 225 million years ago they were all part of supercontinent Pangaea. That's why distant Coastlines seem to match in some places like pieces of a puzzle. It is popular scientific belief that the continents were once all connected into one large continent. Yes they were connected. If you look closly at a map they all fit together.

There are seven political continents, in which are the most widely known: Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America. However, there are truly only four continents, in a geographical sense: Afro-Eurasia, America, Antarctica, and Australia. Afro-Eurasia is a supercontinent composing of the connected continents of Europe, Asia, and Africa. Europe and Africa are both connected to Asia, making them indirectly connected to each other. America is too a supercontinent composing of the connected continents of North and South America. Some people think of America as a true continent and do not split it into north and south.
