- Synopsis
- There are two maps on this page showing how the continents of South America and Africa were once joined and have now drifted apart. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. A light dashed horizontal line separates the two maps. At the top of the page the locations of the continents are shown as they were 500 million years ago. South America on the left and Africa on the right are shown almost touching and seem to fit neatly together. In the centre of the image, the areas of rock and the fossils found in them match each other on both continents. In the map at the bottom of the page, the continents' present locations are shown; they have drifted away from each other and are now almost 2000 miles apart.
