According to the continental drift theory, the supercontinent Pangaea began to break up about 225-200 million years ago, eventually fragmenting into the continents as we know them today.

Scientist alferd wegener formulated the contianental drift hypothesis that states that the contianets onece formed a single landmass,broken up and drifted to their present locations this hypothesis seemes to explain alot of puzzeling observation including the observations of how well the costlines of containts appear to fit together the continental drift hypothesis also explains why fossils of the same plant and animal species are found on continets that are on differnt sides of the atlantic ocean in addition to fossils,similler types of rock and evodence of the same ancient climate conditions were found on several continents

Where along the 48 states is plate collision currently taking place?
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Sometimes an entire ocean closes as tectonic plates converge, causing blocks of thick continental crust to collide. A collisional mountain range forms as the crust is compressed, crumpled, and thickened even more. The effect is like a swimmer putting a beach ball under his or her belly—the swimmer will rise up considerably out of the water. The highest mountains on Earth today, the Himalayas, are so high because the full thickness of the Indian subcontinent is shoving beneath Asia.

The Appalachian Mountains formed during a collision of continents 500 to 300 million years ago. In their prime they probably had peaks as high as those in the modern zone of continental collision stretching from the Himalayas in Asia to the Alps in Europe. But over the past 300 million years, the Appalachians have eroded to more modest heights.
