Tales of Continents Origin




More than 4.6 billion years ago, the world was a burning gas ball, spinning through space. The earth cooled, the superheated gases held by gravity to form the atmosphere.

Water vapour collected in air, the cloud began to form. Then it began to pour with rain, causing early ocean.




About 250 million years ago, long after the earth had created, all the continents had joined together to form a supercontinent called Pangaea (sometimes spelt Pangea). This supercontinent notion proposed by Alfred Wegener (the scientist).


This supercontinent broke up about 200-million years ago to form two enormous continents, Gondwana and Laurasia.


Now Gondwana (Southern Hemispherecomprised into Africa, South America, Australia, Antarctica and India. The Indian sub-continent lay off the east coast of Africa before it broke off and went north swiftly.

It collided with Asia, creating one of the largest range mountain- The Himalaya's.


Now Laurasia (Northern Hemisphere) would drift north and gradually split into Europe, Asia and North America.


💡 Fun fact 

According to geologist the cycle is likely still going. The continents are still on the move, drifting apart at the rate of about an inch each year.

I only recommend products I use, trust, and adore.  We come alone and alone we die.   But in my case, I didn't come alone. It was the winter of 1997 when we were born.

It was clear from the beginning just how different we were from one another: She was chatty , I was quiet ; She was outgoing , I was timid ; She was responsible , I was not so; She was bossy , I was subservient (at first, that is). However, we learned to accept each other and these differences from a very young age, ultimately creating one of the most balanced relationships.
