How were the Continents Formed?
Today, we see the Earth as one of the huge planets, divided into seven continents and each continent contains many countries and surrounding areas. But this was not the case 4 billion years ago. At that time, the earth had a very hot temperature and it was very difficult for the inhabitants to live a life here. All the mountains and hilly areas we see today were not there at that time. Slowly and with due course, many rocks broke into pieces forming land and land was divided naturally. In addition to know about how were the continents formed, we have prepared a detailed report here. Kindly follow the report. Furthermore, many theories have come up since ancient times regarding the formation of continents. When it comes to continents, many of the longest debates have taken place among geologists, each one of them having their own opinions and set of theories which are strong with facts and proofs.
