Continental drift
The geologic evidence points to, in the past, there being several "super continents" which contained most of the Earths land masses. See the animation linked to below.
99% of the worlds LANDsurface is covered by the continents
There is land beneath the oceans, tectonic plate boundaries separate land masses.

Earth's major land forms are known as continents.

Europe and Asia are the two continents that are located on a single land mass. This means that there isn't a large body of water separating the 2 continents.
There is land beneath the oceans, tectonic plate boundaries separate land masses.
The inference is that both continents were once one single land-mass.
this is the crust which is the very thin layer which has land in the water
