pangea
The single land mass that existed on Earth around 335 million years ago is known as Pangaea. It eventually broke apart to form the continents we have today through the process of plate tectonics.
The hypothesis that proposed that Earth's continents were once joined in a single land mass is called continental drift. This theory, formulated by Alfred Wegener in the early 20th century, suggested that the continents were once part of a supercontinent called Pangaea that later broke apart and drifted to their current positions.
99% of the worlds LANDsurface is covered by the continents
The layer that includes the land making up continents and the land under the ocean is the crust, which is the outermost layer of the Earth's surface. It is divided into continental crust, which forms the continents, and oceanic crust, which lies beneath the oceans.
Earth's landmass is the part of earth total area that is covered by land and solid mass; it occupies about 21% of earths total surface area. Earth's landmass consists of the soils, continents, rocks, vegetations, and every other landforms and structures present on the earths surface. Geographically we can say that the Earth's landmass is the areas ocupied by the crust, the lithosphere and the solid part of the biosphere.
The Earth's largest land areas are the continents.

Earth's major land forms are known as continents.
The inference is that both continents were once one single land-mass.
this is the crust which is the very thin layer which has land in the water
99% of the worlds LANDsurface is covered by the continents
The world is about 30% land and about 70% water
The Earth's land is collectively called the Earth's crust, which is the outermost layer of the Earth's surface where all the continents, mountains, and other landforms are located.
Europe and Asia are the two continents that are located on a single land mass. This means that there isn't a large body of water separating the 2 continents.
