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 Hemisphere) comprised 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.
