With Africa splitting into two, and that mundane geo subject of Continents, wouldn't you have been better off, with the queseeential subject of oceans, to atmospheric rivers.
Sorry for the comment, but I am just concluding my limited series on Our Weather of Dramatic Changes. Thirteen parts, a couple of which, you will read in my book, Collected Works, to be published by Orient Paperbacks.
If humanity - and especially advanced civilization as we know it - had been around 3 million years ago or more (some newer models even saying 6 or 15 million years ago), it's not at all a question that North and South America would have been seen as different continents by all the continental models. The connection at the isthmus of Panama only formed a few to several million years ago; until then, those two continents were completely isolated from one another.
Why isn’t Greenland considered a continent?
Why isn’t India considered its own continent? It is more isolated from Asia than Europe is.
