Where continents were formed?
All the continents used to be one large landmass. It was called Pangea. Later on, the landmass started drifting apart little by little. Eventually they became continents.
At their closest point how far apart are the Asian and North American continents?
58 miles apart!
What was pangaea and how does it relate to the continents today?
When the large land mass called Pangaea split apart, the plants and animals living on each continent were separated.

How the continents separate?
Plates pulling apart.
What was the world called before the countries all split apart?
I'm not clear on your question, but it was called Pangea before it split.The super continent PangeaAbout 180 million year ago there was only one continent called Pangea, that began to break up into separate continents. Over time as the land masses moved apart it formed the continents we know today. They are still moving. There were no countries 180 million years ago. Countries are boundaries, as man divided the land into separate territory.
What is it called when continents break apart?
Continental Drift
What continents were side by side?
Originally all of the continents were one land mass. Looking at the land masses divided by the Atlantic ocean you can tell that they were split apart. They are still moving.
What theory that continents move apart form each other?
The action of continents drifting apart from each other is called, "Continental Drift". It is no longer a theory, as it has been proven to be so. Of course, as certain continents move apart from each other, they also are moving closer to other continents.
Over time the land masses drifted apart called?
Continental Drift.
What is the process that pulls apart continents?
Plate tectonics. Sub layers called tectonic plates lie underneath continents move, shift, and grind against or away from each other. The actual process of pulling apart is called diverging. The super-continent Pangaea is an example of a continent that was pulled apart. First it was pulled apart into two continents that are called Laurasia and Gondwana and then was pulled farther apart into the world that we see today.
How are the continents breaking apart?
It is because of the Big Boom that hit our planet years ago. The force of the boom not only made the continents separate but the planets in our solar system as well.
