{EARTH AND SPACE}

How did the land divide into continents ?

The land sits on top of the large pieces, or plates, that make up the earth’s surface. These plates are slowly moving. Before about 200 million years ago. All the land was joined to from one big continent, called a supercontinent. Over millions of years, as the plates moved, the land split and slowly divided into the seven continents we know today: Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe, North American, and South America.
