Gondwana (originally Gondwanaland) is an hypothesized ancient southern supercontinent comprising most of the landmasses in today's Southern Hemisphere, including Antarctica, South America, Africa, Madagascar, Australia-New Guinea and New Zealand, as well as Arabia and the Indian subcontinent, which are in the Northern Hemisphere. Gondwana is thought to have formed roughly 510 million years ago and to have lasted until about 150 million years ago.

What is the meaning of seven crustal plates?
Seven crustal plates refer to the seven major tectonic plates that make up the Earth's lithosphere. These plates are large pieces of the Earth's crust that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them. The movement and interactions of these plates lead to geological processes such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain formation.
What rock are continental plates made up of?

Is the earth a solid piece of rock?
No, it is made of rock but it is made up of many plates that move around the place cause earthquakes. The crust is rock but it is not solid all the way around. The plates are called tectonic plates and if you search "tectonic plates of the world" it should tell you where they are and what they are made up of.
