Paleocontinent

Okay kiddo, imagine the Earth is like a giant puzzle with lots of pieces. A long time ago, some of those puzzle pieces were stuck together and formed a really big piece called a continent.

This continent, let's call it "Paleocontinent", was made up of parts of what we now call Africa, Australia, Antarctica, South America, and India. It was really big and looked different than the continents we have today.

But over millions and millions of years, the puzzle pieces that made up Paleocontinent started to break apart and move in different directions. Some of them moved north and became part of what we now call North America, and some moved east and became part of Europe and Asia.

So basically, a paleocontinent is an ancient continent that was made up of different puzzle pieces that eventually separated and became the continents we have now. It's like if you had a big Lego tower and took it apart to make smaller towers, except with Earth's continents instead!
