The continents are shaped the way they are because of erosion.
Over millions of years, the continents have undergone significant movements due to tectonic plate interactions. The process of plate tectonics has caused the continents to separate, shift, and drift into their current positions, creating the Earth's current continental configuration. This movement has resulted in the breakup of Pangaea into the continents we see today.
Earth's continents are linked by tectonic plate movements. The Earth's crust is divided into several large plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below. These plates are continuously moving, causing the continents to drift slowly over time. This movement is known as plate tectonics.
1. The continents look like puzzle pieces that should fit together (maybe they did in the past). 2. Fossils and geographic layers found on the coast lines of continents (especially South America and Africa) matched up.
Evidence of Pangaea includes the fit of the modern continents, similarities in rock formations across continents, distribution of fossils found on continents that were once part of Pangaea, and geological structures found in different continents that line up when Pangaea is reconstructed. Additionally, the mapping of ancient climate belts and glacial deposits provide further evidence of the supercontinent.
it all loked like a puzzle he said. he had proof like the rock got to Asia from Europe without wind. It was moved when the continents had separated. Also south America and Europe look like they could fit together
The continents look like that because they use to be a SUPER-CONTINENT called PANGAEA.
the earths continents are the same ..
Like earth and islands.
The edges of some continents look as if they would fit together like pieces of a puzzle.
Have a look at this site http://thecontaminated.com/earth-at-night-continents/
Asia , i am guessing
they are the giant plates underneath all the continents
Australia is the only one
Antarctica and Australia
Bahrain and Australia
a bit like the continents now just closer and twisted
Bahrain and Australia
