Recently I’ve read some serious discussions about the possibility that the continental breakup was caused by the global deluge. Under this scenario, the preflood earth was all one continent, called Pangaea (or Pangea) by earth scientists, some of who believe this supercontinent existed 250 million years ago during the Paleozoic and Mesozoic ages.
Pangea is discussed here in a Wikipedia entry. Some images of Pangea can be found at:
- The “Paleomar Project” of Christopher Scotese
- USGS continental history maps
- Wikipedia map with today’s continents shown
- Geology.com continent maps
- Pangaea map at New Pangaea
- Interesting Wikimedia map showing proposed climate regions
