African colonists majorly came from Europe. This was during the race for Africa during the period of New Imperialism between the years of 1881 and 1914.

How did the continents come together?

Continental drift is the theory that explains how the Earth's continents have moved over time due to the process of plate tectonics. About 300 million years ago, all the continents were part of a supercontinent called Pangaea. Over time, the movement of tectonic plates has separated and repositioned the continents to their current locations.


What three continents come together in southwest Asia?

Africa, Asia, and Europe come together in Southwest Asia.


How can the continents come back together?

Continents are part of tectonic plates that move around on Earth's surface. In theory, continents could come back together through tectonic plate movement if they were to collide again. This process would take millions of years and could lead to the formation of a supercontinent, like Pangea.


Why are continents called with the letter A?

Continents are not exclusively named with the letter A. The coincidence might be due to the fact that several continents, like Africa, Asia, and Australia, have names that happen to start with the letter A. The names of continents come from a variety of sources and languages.


How long should it take for the continents to come together?

It took millions of years for the continents to come together to form the supercontinent Pangaea, which existed around 335 million years ago. The process of the continents drifting apart and coming back together, known as plate tectonics, is a slow geological process that occurs over millions of years.
