by the wegner theory that seafloor spreading is going on
The movement of continents is known as plate tectonics. Over millions of years, the Earth's outer crust (lithosphere) is divided into large plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below. These plates drift and interact, leading to the breakup of Pangaea and the shift of continents to their current locations due to processes like seafloor spreading, subduction, and continental drift.
The theory of plate tectonics explains that the continents have moved due to the movement of tectonic plates on Earth's surface. Over millions of years, these plates have shifted and collided, causing the continents to drift to their current locations. This process is known as continental drift.
Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of continental drift because he observed similarities in the shapes of the continents, as well as the distribution of fossils and rock types across different continents. He suggested that the continents were once joined together in a single supercontinent called Pangaea, which later broke apart and drifted to their current positions.
the theory that states continents have move is that every year the continents move 1 inch and after a year they move 365 inches you can tell they move by them being one big continent called PANGAEA. you guys are really stupid if you listen to my friend
220 million years ago, the Earth's landmasses were connected in a supercontinent called Pangaea. Over time, this supercontinent broke apart, leading to the formation of the continents we have today. The shifting and drifting of tectonic plates caused the continents to move to their current positions.
Every year continents move about.. your pointer finger length.
During the Paleozoic Era, the continents were mostly joined together as a supercontinent called Pangaea. In the Mesozoic Era, Pangaea began to break apart, leading to the formation of the modern continents. Throughout the Cenozoic Era, the continents continued to move to their current positions due to the process of plate tectonics.
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.
Pangaea split apart due to the process of plate tectonics, where the Earth's outer shell is divided into plates that move and interact. The movement of these plates caused Pangaea to gradually break apart over millions of years, leading to the formation of the current continents.
Seafloor Spreading helped move the Continents to their current location.

The movement of continents is known as plate tectonics. Over millions of years, the Earth's outer crust (lithosphere) is divided into large plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below. These plates drift and interact, leading to the breakup of Pangaea and the shift of continents to their current locations due to processes like seafloor spreading, subduction, and continental drift.
One opposing view to the Pangaea theory is the theory of a static Earth, which suggests that continents have always been in their current positions. Another opposing view is the Expanding Earth theory, proposing that the Earth's continents move apart due to the planet's expansion rather than shifting on tectonic plates.

Alfred Wegener (Ve-ge-ner) is the man who created the Pangaea theory which is when all the continents were once one big continent. Pangaea is derived from the Latin word "pangeo" which means "all earth".
according to scientist the answer is yes, yes they were connected to form a super continent known as Pangaea research Pangaea on Google or something to find out more
