These continents all used to be connected and formed the supercontinent of Pangea, some 300 million years ago. At this time, this was the only continent on Earth.

What are the evidences of the movents of the continents?

The evidence that the continents are moving today is actually just a theory, but is accepted to be true. This theory is known as Continental Drift and is described as the continents belonging to tectonic plates, which are basically floating on the Earth's surface. Evidence to prove such is that the continents all fit together like a jigsaw puzzle and related or the same plant or animal species are located on separated continents, suggesting that they were all once connected to allow the animals to roam and the plants to spread. If they have moved in the past, they must still be moving today, and there are projected paths the continents are taking.


What is the Pangaea puzzle?

The Pangea puzzle is the theory of the beginning of the continents. It's how the Earth started out. Well it is the theory of how the continents came to be. The legend has it that way back in time, there weren't any continents. There was just one large landmass. Until it started to spread apart. That is when it was no longer just one piece. But there were 7 different landmasses. Over hundreds of thousands of years, those landmasses spread apart into what we know now as our 7 continents.
