Hy. One opinion says that, after the Flood the continents separated and oceans started to form in between them. But for some time...for a few hundred years the ocean's level was much much lower then today, so people could , with ease, travel between continents on dry land. When the Ice age finished and the continents stopped rising the water level increased and all of the exposed dry land between the continents disappeared. Probably all this happened in the time of Peleg's birth and his father( because this was an event worth remembering) named his son "Division" . I hope this is helpful. In my eyes this is the best explanation for the verse above.

Or...:) it was the confusion of tongue at the Babel tower. By
