The Earth's surface has undergone significant transformations over billions of years, with continents colliding and drifting apart. Before the current plate tectonics, the Earth's surface was vastly different. While we don't know the exact names of the Earth's configurations before the Titanic plate formed different continents, we do know about several supercontinents that existed in the past.Some notable supercontinents include Pangaea: The most recent supercontinent, existing around 335 million years ago, which contained nearly all the land on Earth. Gondwana: A supercontinent that existed around 510 million years ago, comprising modern-day Africa, South America, Antarctica, India, and Australia. - Columbia or Nuna: A supercontinent that formed during a period of plate tectonics and broke up about 1.3 billion years ago. - Rodinia: A supercontinent thought to have formed around 1 billion years ago and broke up into eight continents.
