Continental drift
Moving continents is driven by plate tectonics, which involve the slow movement of tectonic plates. This movement is caused by forces generated by heat from the Earth's interior and gravitational forces. The exact force required to move continents varies depending on the specific tectonic processes involved.
The causes of the natural disasters and plus the wind could possibly tear the continents and make separate continents. Also there could have been a terrible earthquake that caused the continents to also separate.
Wegener proposed two forces for the movement of continents: gravitational pull caused by the Earth's rotation, and the force generated by the mantle convection currents beneath the Earth's crust.
The main force driving the drifting of continents is plate tectonics. This is caused by the movement of the Earth's lithosphere plates over the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them. The plates can converge, diverge, or slide past each other, leading to the drifting of continents over long periods of time.
The force responsible for the movement of continents is called plate tectonics. The Earth's outer shell is divided into large plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below. These plates move due to the heat-driven convection currents in the mantle, causing the continents to drift over millions of years.
the movement of convection currents in the mantle is the cause of plate motion.

It's called the Continental Drift but scientists changed it to Plate Tectonics in 1960.

Earhtquakes-because it shook the world, Vocanoes-because the magma melts the rocks and forms new land, etc. Its things like that, that caused Pangaea.(Pangaea-the continents drifted apart)
The reason is because of glacial desposits. The other reason is because of ice bergs and continental drift.
