One interesting fact about
Africa that is truly amazing is
that long before humans were
around (the early Mesozoic
Era), Africa was joined to the
other continents in a massive
continent called Pangaea. Over
millions of years this huge
continent broke apart shaping
the world landscape as we
know it today in what has been
referred to the continental
drift. This was at first a
speculation and was first put
proposed by Abraham
Ortelius in 1596. Later on, the
concept was independently
(and more fully) developed in
1912 by Alfred Wegener and
the theory of continental drift
was superseded by the theory
of plate tectonics, which builds
upon the previous continental
drift and better explains the
former concept.Africa is the most populous
and the only black continent.
Despite the delayed
development in the continent,
Africa is an interesting
continent to visit and in it
abounds lots of talents. There
are lots of known and
interesting information but
there are much more unknown
facts about Africa that are
worth mentioning. Answers
