245 millon years ago the land mass was a pangea and i am correct
Laurasia and Gondwana were the first continents to split apart from Pangaea.
Pangaea
pangea
The Himalyas (mountain range) The Himalaya's formed when the sub continent of India broke away from Gondwanalandand and crashed into Asia.
At one time, Madagascar was part of a landmass that included Africa and India. About 88 million years ago, Madagascar broke free from India and became a separate island.
Cause you started with Pangaea a large super continent which slowly broke apart and each one started drifting. Now plate tectonics is how the collisions occur and when and WHY. WHY are they colliding?, because they have drifted away from each other and are now colliding back together again. And also each individual plate will break and come together again.
Alfred Wegener was the first person to fully develop a theory that all the continents of the world were once part of the same giant landmass (or supercontinent) called Pangea; which broke apart with the constituent parts drifting away from one another and arriving at their current locations. This drift is still occurring today and some scientists believe that the continents will eventually recombine to form another supercontinent called Pangaea ultima.
what makes continents drift the land used to be a big long peace of land. then we started having these big earthquake and natural storms and started breaking the earths crust and finally broke threw and made massive peaces of land drift away and the other land locked in and that's how the continents drifted called (continental drift)

No, Laurasia was the northern landmass that broke away from Pangaea. The modern day continents located in Laurasia were Europe (without Balkans), Asia (without India), and North America. Gondwana was the southern landmass that broke away from Pangaea. The modern day continents and countries located in Gondwana were Africa, South America, Australia, India, Arabia, Antarctica, and the European Balkans.

The two divisions of Pangaea were Laurasia, which consisted of modern-day North America, Europe, and Asia, and Gondwana, which included present-day South America, Africa, India, Antarctica, and Australia.

Ever since the Big Bang, things are moving away from each other, are being created, transformed and destroyed. Right now things are, for a fact, being drifted away.
