Scientists theorise that a long time ago, all of the above water mass, land, was in one central place called 'pangea.' The belief is that through various processes in the earth such as earthquakes, the earth has slowly drifted further and further apart through the years. The earth is still drifting away now, but not fast enough for you to visually see over your lifetime.
