In the beginning all the continents of the Earth were joined together to form 'Pangaea' . This large piece of land was then divided into current continents . The Pangaea started to separate about 10 billion years ago .
The continents began to separate around 175 million years ago during the Jurassic period. This process of continental drift eventually led to the formation of the current continental configuration we see today.
The Alps does not separate any continents.
When continents break apart and the landmasses separate, it is called continental drift or plate tectonics.
When two continents separate, it is known as continental drift or divergent boundary. This occurs when the tectonic plates underneath the continents move away from each other, creating new land formations in the process.
The Ural mountains separate Europe and Asia.
Six Continents was originally created in 1988 as part of the demerger of the UK conglomerate Grand Metropolitan into two separate entities, Six Continents and Diageo. Six Continents later demerged into two separate companies in 2003, resulting in the creation of InterContinental Hotels Group and Mitchells & Butlers.

The Alps does not separate any continents.
No, Pangaea separated into two main supercontinents called Laurasia and Gondwana. These two supercontinents eventually broke apart to form the continents we have today.
The continents separated due to the theory of plate tectonics. It is believed that the Earth's outer shell is divided into several large, rigid plates that float on the semi-fluid layer of the mantle. These plates move slowly over time, causing them to drift apart and collide, leading to the separation of continents.
India, Africa & Texas

Plates pulling apart.
No. They are separate continents.
The Ural Mountains separate Europe and Asia. The western side of the mountains is in Europe, specifically in Russia, while the eastern side is in Asia.
The causes of the natural disasters and plus the wind could possibly tear the continents and make separate continents. Also there could have been a terrible earthquake that caused the continents to also separate.
