If you look at a map of the world you can see that South America and Africa used to be joined. People have discovered that the east coast of South America and the west coast of Africa have the same rock type. Also there was animals that lived in South America and in Africa, people were wondering how they could of got to Africa from America without flying or swimming, they must of been able to walk across from the two countries. The Continental Drift from the plates drifted the two countries apart and that causes the world to be as it is now. When the world first begun, all the countries were joint together so you could of walked from Scotland to France, but the Continental Drift drifted all the countries apart.
