the present continents were originally joined together to form a single supercontinent called Pangea before drifting apart into Laurasia in the north and Gondwanaland in the south. Laurasia and Gondwanaland then broke up to form the continental arrangement of the world we know today. He first thought of this idea by noticing that the landmasses on Earth almost fit together like a jigsaw puzzle.

Continental drift is the idea that at one point in time all of the continents formed a super continent called Pangea. Looking at the globe of the world‚ every continent looks as if it were a piece to a puzzle; which if placed back together‚ Pangea is made (3‚ Ref).
