The World we live in has been humanities breeding ground for many generations. Planet Earth is the only planet we know of that Humans and other living things can colonize and survive. Our Earth is divided in to different continents and they contain what we call countries. These continents are distributed around the earth in an even manner, but they were not always separate continents. Over 200 million years ago there was one super continent containing all the continents that we have today, it was known as Pangea.
The supercontinents Pangea consisted of every single continent and almost all landmasses on earth that we know today. Before the separation of every particular continent, Pangea had split into two different super continents because of cracking on the earth’s crust. One of those supercontinents was called Gondwana. Gondwana was composed of South America, Arica, Australia, Antarctica and India, which are now separate individual continents. This supercontinent was in existence around 180 million year ago and was placed around the middle of the earth. This helped geologist and scientist come to the conclusion that the climate was mildly warm and sultry.

His theory was that the earth’s outer layer (Crust) was floating on a core, and over time the crust starts cracking, Wegener stated that the Earth’s circulating motion is what shifted the continents around. The cracking of the earth’s floor is what creates the free movement of the whole masses of land. The free movement between continents have their own type of boundaries, which are divergent, convergent and transform. These all resemble different movement. After the separation of these continents, each individual land mass moved in outwards directions. This movement was very dawdling, only about a couple centimetres a year. These continents are still moving right now and they will continue until they can’t distribute out any
