What causes a super- continent to break apart?

A supercontinent breaks apart due to plate tectonics, where the movement of Earth's tectonic plates forces the supercontinent to split into smaller landmasses. This process, called rifting, creates new ocean basins between the separating landmasses. Examples of supercontinents that have broken apart include Pangaea and Gondwana.
