What is the theory that the continents were once one giant landmass?

Alfred Wegner thought that all the continents used to be one giant landmass called Pangea. He said that the continents would move a little each year. The scientists didnt believe him though, but later found out that it could be true because of the plates in the earth


How many continents is the earth divided into?

We will just go to what could be thought: 7 continents: - North America -South America -Antarctica -Africa -Europe -Asia -Australia Here the "American landmass" is counted as 2 and the "European-Asian landmass" is counted as 2 landmasses. 6 continents: - North America -South America -Antarctica -Africa -Eurasia -Australia Here the "European-Asian landmass" is counted as 1 landmass. Alternate to the 6 continents version is the one where Europe and Asia are separated and the "American landmass" is counted as 1 landmass. The American "combined" landmass is separated by a human made waterway made through a narrow strip of land. 5 continents: - America -Antarctica -Africa -Eurasia -Australia Here the "European-Asian landmass" and the "American landmass" are both counted as 1 big land mass. 4 continents: -America -Antarctica -Afro-Eurasia -Australia Here the "African-Eurasian" landmass is counted as 1. With the same argument (see 6 continents) used to combine the "American" landmass. Apparently there is another map that says all the Landmasses are so narrowly connected they could be considered as 1, the 'dymaxion map'. Well, we have given you options to choose from, so you decide which one is right.

Where continents were formed?

Continents were formed through the process of plate tectonics over millions of years. This process involves the movement of Earth's lithospheric plates, which has led to the splitting, merging, and shifting of land masses to create the continents as we know them today.
