What is the name of the shortcut from Europe to Asia through North America?
Panama CanalAnother AnswerThere is another interesting answer. In the days of exploration, there was postulated a short cut. After all, there had to be a way for the water to get from one point to another, so a "Northwest Passage" was thought to exist. This passage would have been a water route that cut through the continent of North America. However it was never found because it did not exist. Until the Panama Canal was cut, there was no way other than around the Horn of Africa, or the Horn of South America to get from Europe to Asia.
Is it possible for Continents to have a sudden movement by many miles away from another continent such as North America moving away from Europe and Africa?
Yes, this is possible, and this is what is happening; it is known as continental drift. North America is currently moving away from Europe (and Africa) at a rate of a couple of millimeters per year. Continents do not move dramatically over a short period of time. There has to be perhaps a hundred million years before a noticeable difference.
