Yes, that is true. Continents slowly move around; for more information, check the Wikipedia article (or other educational resources) for "continental drift". On several occasions, that made most of Earth's landmass come together into a single "supercontinent"; the last such supercontinent was Pangaea, approximately 175 million years ago.
