The theory is called the Continental Drift Theory. That means that over a long period of time the continents shifted away from each other and formed the earth that we see today. The continents are able to shift and move because they lie on tectonic plates, which are sub-layers that move and float. Tectonic plates cause earthquakes and volcanoes.
