The large landmass on Earth separated due to the process of plate tectonics. This is when the Earth's outer shell (the lithosphere) is broken into various plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them. The movement of these plates causes them to drift apart, forming separate landmasses over millions of years.
