continents of the Earth fit together when they were matched up. It was suggested then that the
present-day continents had once been one large continent that had broken up into pieces which difted
apart.
Today the modern theory of plate tectonics suggeststhat the crust of the Earth is divided into six
large, and many small tectonicplates that drift on the lava that composes the inner core of the Earth.
