In the past, there were traditionally considered to be seven continents: Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America. However, some geographers also recognized an eighth continent called Zealandia, which is mostly submerged beneath the southwest Pacific Ocean. Zealandia is now considered a continental fragment rather than a full-fledged continent.

Do you believe that the continents will shift back all together?
Continental drift is a slow geological process that occurs over millions of years, leading to the movement of continents. There is no scientific evidence to suggest that the continents will shift back all together as a single landmass in the foreseeable future. As of now, geological forces continue to shape and change the positions of the continents independently.
