Two continents that once fit together may exhibit gaps or overlaps due to tectonic processes such as plate tectonics, where continental drift causes them to move apart or collide over geological time. Erosion and sedimentation can create gaps, while tectonic activity, such as subduction or uplift, can lead to overlaps. Additionally, changes in sea levels and the formation of ocean basins can alter the relative positions of continents, further contributing to these discrepancies.

Should you use the breadth of possibilities or a breadth of possibilities?

In contemporary English, 'the breadth of possibilities' and 'a breadth of possibilities' are often indistinguishable in meaning; thus, either one can be used. Exceptions to this general rule can be found, however. For example, where there is a well-defined 'breadth of possibilities' that one intends to draw attention to, the definite article ('the') is most proper. Where the 'breadth of possibilities' is general, undefined, or merely potential, the indefinite article ('a') is typically most expressive.


How do you use either and neither?

Yes, if the South American and African continents are brought together at the mid-ocean ridge, the areas of ancient rock on the two continents will match. This is because they were once part of the same landmass called Pangea, which broke apart over millions of years due to plate tectonics.
