Through the passage of time, the continents have gradually moved across the earth's surface into their present positions. This is called the continental drift.

Continental drift.
The theory is called plate tectonics, which posits that Earth's outer shell is divided into several large, rigid plates that move and interact with one another. This movement can result in phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the drifting of continents over millions of years.

Alfred Wegner's theory of continental drift stated that the continents were all once together but over time have drifted apart.
When the continents were said to be one land mass, it is called Pangea by scientists. Continental drift was when the Earth's plates moved and drifted slowly apart.
The continents that fit together like a puzzle are South America and Africa. This phenomenon, known as continental drift, supports the theory of plate tectonics, suggesting that these landmasses were once connected as part of the supercontinent Pangaea, before shifting apart over millions of years.
No, the continents and the oceans have not always been in the positions they are in today. The Earth's tectonic plates slowly move over time through a process called plate tectonics. This movement has resulted in the continents shifting positions and the reshaping of the oceans over millions of years.
No, they are moving and changing. But they do that very slowly, so we don't see much change even if we live to be 100.
