The Pangaea theory posits that all Earth's continents were once part of a single supercontinent called Pangaea, which existed around 335 million years ago. Over time, Pangaea broke apart due to tectonic plate movements, leading to the gradual drift of continents to their current positions. This theory explains the geological and fossil similarities found on different continents, as well as the fit of continental Coastlines, supporting the idea that they were once connected. Today, the ongoing movement of tectonic plates continues to shape the Earth's landscape.
