Did you know that according to the theory of continental drift, the original state of the world's continents was that they were all connected as one supercontinent called Pangaea? This massive landmass existed approximately 335 million years ago and gradually broke apart over millions of years, resulting in the formation of the continents as we know them today. The theory, proposed by Alfred Wegener in the early 20th century, revolutionized our understanding of Earth's geology and explained the similarities in fossil and geological records found across different continents. Continental drift provides crucial insights into the dynamic nature of our planet and the interconnectedness of its landmasses.
