Four different renderings of the Earth at specific moments in history:

• Figure A- 260 million years ago, one supercontinent, Pangea.
• Figure B- 135 million years ago continental drift caused the earth to split into separate land masses, Laurasia and Gondwana
• Figure C- 65 million years ago, Laurasia split into North America and Eurasia and Gondwana became separated because South America and Eurasia broke apart from Africa.
• Figure D- Modern day, seven continents: Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Europe, Australia, and Antarctica
