Answer:
Alfred Weagner introduced the theory of continental drift, according to which all the landmasses that we see on world map today were once connected to each other.
Over time, they drifted away from each other, creating 7 continents that we have now. The cause of this drift is related to the plate tectonic theory.
The outer shell of the earth is made up of plates that drift a little every year. The heat coming from inside the earth causes this drift to occur.
Although the movement is very slow, it is taking place for millions of years and the drift is now noticeable.
