Physics.
The Earth's crust is made of two basic kinds of rock: SiAl and SiMa (named after the most prevalent elements in them: silicon-aluminium and silicon-magnesium). SiAl rocks, like feldspar, are less dense than SiMa rocks (like basalt) and tend to "float" on them. The continents are mainly SiAl.

How many times have all of Earth's continents come together to form a super continent?
Just once. This supercontinent was known as Pangea.
How many continents were there originally?
7 continents
Who separated the world into seven continents?
No one person achieved this. The continents separated themselves (and still move today); it's plate tectonics.
What was the name of when all continents were together?
Pangea
What was the center when all continents were together?
Pangaea
From what two continents did people come into the Americas?
The two continents that people came to America were from Europe and Africa.
Do people come from countries or continents for Olympics?

Where does sand on beaches come from?
Sand represents the eroded rock of the continents.
Did art come from America or Europe?
Art is present in all continents.
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?

What are the two continents combined to result an Asia?
Asia is one continent on its own. There are no two continents which come together which make up the Asian continent. However, during the time the continents were all together, this was known as Pangaea.
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.
Immigrants to the US come from what top 3 continents?
Europe, Asia, Central America
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.
