The outer layer of the Earth, the solid crust we walk on, is made up of broken pieces, much like the shell of a broken egg. These pieces, the tectonic plates, move around the planet at speeds of a few centimetres per year.
Every so often they come together and combine into a supercontinent, which remains for a few hundred million years before breaking up.
The plates then disperse or scatter and move away from each other, until they eventually – after another 400-600 million years – come back together again.

Is this sarcasm?
You can literally cut out the continents on a paper map and piece them all together like a puzzle.
Also, there's places around the world on the coasts that have pieces of other continents still stuck to them.
