In the course of the creation of the earth, continents formed that united, became supercontinents, and in continuation split into small continents which again united, again creating supercontinents. This cycle of phenomena probably was ongoing in the course of the earth’s entire existence.
The main force causing the above phenomena, the movement of the continents and especially the direction they move in, as well as the upper part of the magma in the mantle, is the centrifugal force of the rotational movement of the earth following the change in location of the axis of the earth’s rotation relative to the mantle of the earth and, in accordance, a change in the location of the equator.
