Why can you fit South America and Africa together like a jigsaw Puzzle....???

If you look at the map of the World you will notice that east coast of South America fits exactly against the west cost of the Africa, as if they were a piece of the jigsaw puzzle.

This is because millions of years ago, they were joined. in fact, 220 millions years ago, all the continent's were joined together to form one supercontinent called Pangaea. There was also only one giant ocean, Panthalassa.

in time, Pangaea split into smaller land masses, and the continents began to drift towards their present positions. In the future, the movements of the tectonic plates will cause the continents to drift even more.

This will results in the Pacific ocean shrinking, the Atlantic ocean getting wider, and Africa splitting into two!!!!
