Africa, like the other continents, is the product of continental drift. At an earlier period in the Earth's history, there was only one continent, known as Pangaea, and this broke up and formed the continents as we know them today, as a result of the force exerted on the crust by currents in the underlying magma of the mantle. The whole process is essentially random. The shape of Africa is an accident.

In a current-carrying circuit, a charged particle is accelerated by an electric field. It also undergoes frequent collisions with the stationary ions of the wire material. These two effects result in the very slow net motion (drift) of moving charged particles in the direction of the electric force. The drift velocity describes this motion. Average drift speed for electrons is on the order of 10-4 m/s (Young and Freedman, University Physics).
A rudderless boat has no direction and will just drift around aimlessly.A boat needs a rudder so it can be steered(or you might say driven) in a certain direction. As a school needs rules and regulations to get the students in a direction of some sort.
Pangaea was a supercontinent that all continents are close to each other and they where separated after 200 million years ago and started to drift in any direction in the world
Continental drift caused Pangaea, the supercontinent, to break apart into separate landmasses over millions of years. This movement resulted in the creation of the continents we know today and influenced the formation of oceans and mountain ranges.
Continental Drift caused pangaea to seperate.
Yes, the theory of Pangaea is supported by geological evidence which shows that the Earth's landmasses were once connected in a supercontinent about 335 million years ago. The idea is widely accepted in the scientific community as a plausible explanation for the arrangement of continents on Earth.

Continental drift caused Pangaea, the supercontinent, to break apart over millions of years, leading to the formation of separate continents as we know them today. The movement of the continents due to plate tectonics continues to influence Earth's geology, climate, and biodiversity.
The Continental drift
Alfred Wegener's theory of continental drift proposed that continents were once joined together in a single landmass called Pangaea, which gradually drifted apart over time. He suggested that the continents moved due to the process of plate tectonics, where the Earth's crust is divided into several large plates that float and move on the semi-fluid mantle beneath them. Wegener's theory was later supported and developed into the modern theory of plate tectonics.

Continental Drift
According to the theory of continental drift, Pangaea drifted apart when the plates under the crust gradually drifted apart. This process happened over a matter of years.
The theory of Pangaea is called the continental drift theory. It proposes that Earth's continents were once joined together in a single large landmass that later broke apart and drifted into their current positions.
