Pangaea and Continental Movement

The video tutorial explains the concept of Pangaea, a supercontinent that existed over 250 million years ago. It describes how the Earth is currently divided into seven continents and how these continents were once part of a single landmass called Pangaea. The process of Pangaea breaking apart, known as rifting, led to the current arrangement of continents. The video also discusses the ongoing movement of continents due to continental drift and poses a question about the possibility of another supercontinent forming in the future.
