WHAT DID THE CONTINENTS USED TO LOOK LIKE?


When the Earth formed, the lighter elements floated to the surface where they cooled to form a crust. Although the first rock were formed over 3,500 years ago they have not stayed the same. They have been changed from forces on the inside and the outside of the Earth. The coastlines on each side of the Atlantic appear to have a jigsaw fit. It is thought that all the land masses were once joined together forming a super continent called PANGAEA. This split up to form the continents we know today.
