they separated because tunred in to ice and just broke. they move because of the tectonics.The earth;s crust is made of many large and small pieces, called plates, that are floating on top of magma, molten rock.
The Earth's crust is constantly moving, both vertically and horizontally, at rates of up to several inches a year. A widely-held theory that explains these movements is called "plate tectonics.
did you see the movie where the nut fell in and and the animal catched it to the bottom of the earth. that was how it moved. funny
but that is not true
k bye . did i help you!
250 years ago, the continents were still moving due to the process of plate tectonics, where the Earth's lithosphere is divided into plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below. The movement of these plates is caused by convection currents in the Earth's mantle. Over millions of years, this movement has resulted in the shifting of continents and the changing of Earth's surface.
250 million years ago, the Earth's landmasses were joined together to form a supercontinent called Pangaea. Pangaea was a massive landmass consisting of almost all of today's continents fused together. The continents were surrounded by a single vast ocean known as Panthalassa.
It is likely that the continents will continue to drift apart and eventually form a new supercontinent in around 200-250 million years. This cyclic process is driven by plate tectonics and the movement of Earth's tectonic plates.
The supercontinent is called Pangaea. It existed during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras before breaking apart into Laurasia and Gondwana, which eventually formed the continents we have today.
Yes it was. Around 250 million years ago, the earth only consisted of one large continent called the 'supercontinent' or pangaea.

250 million years ago!
Scientists believe that in the next 250 million years, the continents will continue to drift and may collide to form a new supercontinent, similar to how Pangea existed in the past. This cycle of supercontinent formation and breakup happens over hundreds of millions of years due to tectonic plate movements.

Pangaea is the supercontinent that existed around 200 to 250 million years ago.
The continental drift has affected Australia along with every other continent. 250 million years ago all the continents were one called Pangea. Australia has slowly migrated and driffted north ever since.
Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of continental drift, suggesting that about 250 million years ago, all continents were once part of a single supercontinent called Pangaea. This supercontinent later split apart and drifted into their current positions.
Pangea was the giant supercontinental landmass that existed on the Earth's surface about 250 million years ago. It was essentially all of the present continents 'stuck together' in one large grouping. It is proposed by plate tectonics that the movement of tectonic plates moved portions of this landmass apart and around the world, forming the present continents in their existing distribution.
The plates of the earth, all of the continents moved, bumped into each other, and apart.
