Scientists believe that ALL continents were once joined, not just 2. The combination of the continents are call Pangea.
Such a group of atoms is called a molecule.
Wegener proposed that the distribution of ancient climate zones indicated that continents had once been joined together in a supercontinent, which he called Pangaea. He observed that fossil evidence and geological features suggested that areas now in polar regions had once experienced tropical climates, and vice versa. This led him to conclude that the movement of continents over geological time could explain the current distribution of climate zones. Thus, he saw two choices: either the continents had moved significantly over time, or the climate zones had changed drastically without continental movement, which he found less plausible.
the three puzzling occurrences that helped to support the theory was when the southern tips of south american and Africa do not touch 2 they did not touch in the past over time earths continents have changed shape and traveled great distances i was looking at a wks in class on this but hey im in seventh grade so you can trust me or not on this but here u go
Alfred Wegener's theory was continental drift, which proposed that the continents were once connected in a single landmass called Pangea and have since drifted apart. Wegener suggested that continents moved due to the forces of tectonic plates, despite facing skepticism from the scientific community during his time.
When two single sugars are joined together, they form a disaccharide. Examples include sucrose (glucose + fructose), lactose (glucose + galactose), and maltose (glucose + glucose).
North America and Europe had matching rocks and minerals found, indicating that these continents were once joined together as part of the supercontinent Pangaea.
Europe and Asia are joined together by land, a connection known as the Eurasian landmass.
One piece of evidence supporting the theory of continental drift is the fit of continents, such as the matching coastlines of South America and Africa. Another piece of evidence is the distribution of similar fossils and rock formations on different continents, suggesting they were once connected. Additionally, the alignment of mountain ranges and geological structures across continents supports the idea of past continental unity.
Evidence supporting the theory of the supercontinent Pangaea includes the jigsaw-like fit of continents, similarities in rock formations and mountain ranges across continents that align when continents are brought together, distribution of fossils of identical species across distant continents, and similarities in ancient climates and geological records found on separate continents. These pieces of evidence work together to suggest that the current continents were once part of a single landmass.
The main idea of continental drift is that Earth's continents were once joined together in a single landmass called Pangaea and have since moved apart over millions of years to their current positions due to the movement of tectonic plates. This theory helps to explain the matching geology and fossils found on continents separated by vast oceans.
There are two basic evidences to support this theory: 1. Animals or plants of the same species can be found on separated continents (for example, Africa and Australia or North America and Europe) naturally, and have not been placed by man. This must mean all the continents were previously connected, allowing the animals and plants to disperse. 2. The continents all seem to fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. This must mean all the continents were previously connected, but have since broken off and their coastlines have eroded since then, which explains why they do not perfectly fit together.
Two or more elements that are chemically joined together is a compound, I think.
They would fit roughly together but not perfectly due to years and years of erosion. As evident as Africa and So. America are that they were once joined. Erosion does not work. Even with that they will not fit. Try it with cut outs. But shrink the size of the earths sphere to about 1/2 its size today and they fit perfect.
Fossil evidence: the discovery of identical fossils on continents separated by vast oceans supports the idea that these landmasses were once joined together. Matching geological features: the alignment of mountain ranges and rock formations on different continents, such as the Appalachian Mountains in North America and the Caledonian Mountains in Europe, provide evidence of past connections.

Europe and Asia are the two continents that are together on one large area known as Eurasia. The Ural Mountains in Russia serve as a natural boundary between the two continents.
