Answer:

Antarctica

Explanation:

The Drake passage refers to the water route that connects the southern part of South America and Antarctica. This passage was created long back, about 41 million years back. Before the creation of this passage, the region of Antarctica experienced a warmer type of climate.

The circumpolar Antarctic ocean current traveled through this passage, running in a clockwise pattern around Antarctica and it separated the Sub Antarctic warm water from the colder Antarctic current. This circumpolar Antarctic current is also considered as the West wind drift and this current maintains the extensively large ice sheets that are present currently, experiencing a much lower temperature.

Thus, the Drake passage separated Antarctica from the southern part of  South America.

If the universe was made billions of years ago why is it only 2018.
Ganezh [65]
Because time is a social construct. It was only created when civilization was created. Since there was no one to create time in the beginning of Earth we had to create it as far back as we could. So basically science as stuff created time to help people. Time wasn't a thing back then. It only became a thing when people became a thing. 

Hope this Helps!

A full-scale war between Japan and China would soon follow.
