How did the continents come together?

Continental drift is the theory that explains how the Earth's continents have moved over time due to the process of plate tectonics.

Why is the continental drift not a theory but a fact?

because the continents keep moving every day, that is how the continents got the way they are right now.and they will keep on moving a continental drift is when the continents were all joined together and they use to call it panagaea. one day the continents started to spleet up into two continents and they were call gondwana and laurasia. after a few years they started to separate into groups. so a continental drift is when continents are moving. for example every year it Australia move 5 cm.
