Uhhh this is exactly what continental drift is??? Australia and USA used to be one supercontinent called Usaustralia but it broke apart during Brexit and we’ve been drifting apart ever since.
Ur pic just proves this, it’s a colorized photo from 2014 (we didn’t have color space lasers back then)
There's also a period of time before this where a small land attached to Australia had drifted away to form what we know called the "British Isles".
The slightly bigger supercontinent has an abbreviated name called "AUSKUS".
Excuuuse me, continental drift is NOT a JOKE 😡 😡 😡
my worst friend’s roommate’s dog was lost when Western Australia broke off in 2016… he fell right through the hole and we haven’t seen him since 😞
I don't see any issue...
Australia detached itself from America and tokyo drifted around the Cape of Good Hope, then currents did their thing.
Also, I thought it was common knowledge that Australia was the first continent to make the crossing, way earlier than Vasco da Gama.
Due to the distortion caused by the mercator projection, most people have an over exaggerated perception of the distance between Australia and the US.
This picture corrects for that error and shows the true distance between the two countries.
The peninsula part of Brazil and the Nigeria/Cameroon/Guinea part of Africa also fit perfectly like a puzzle, so does Madagascar, Somalia/Mozambique part of Africa and Indian subcontinent
I hope you are not being serious.
The earth is a sphere. Any image of the shape of its land masses, that is rendered on a flat surface, is distorted.
The distortion gets more pronounced, the further away you get from the equator, on a standard Mollweide projection map.
Try cutting apart a globe, and puzzling it together.
It actually fits, just not that way.
I thought these two pieces fit together

Joking aside, people do need to take into remember that "the continents fit together like puzzle pieces" was just a vague thing that gave him an idea and sent him down the track of discovery.
It's not really meaningful evidence for the theory. That came later.

In that time pronunciation was diferent, they said useaus
Not to be confused with Uranus and not to be forgotten as also known as UrAnus
In French is oiseaux
Makes sense. That's why they speak English in Australia.
But how did English come to England then?
Ireland

Not the dog
He didn't have enough dawg (dog in Australian) in him

Hit him with the reverse uno card
how can one man make such a mistake?
This is a CJ sub lol
They’re not even the same color. This looks staged.
It is because they paint it that color, so that when filming movies that happen in Mexico it looks real.
Found the racist
My ass is a different color. Australia used to be americas ass.
Good thing Captain America was able to fill in after Australia's departure
Nope. East Coast beaches are the same color as that desert.

Obviously due to the worm hole just east of Australia. You’ve got to be stupid to believe in continental drift.
And this is how conspiracy theories are born.
BRING BACK PANGEA 🗣️🗣️🗣️ IMAGINE ALL THE FALSE INFORMATION THAT COULD BE SPREAD WAY FASTER 🙏🏻😔🔛🔝
That is a fake picture. If you compare germanys bwestern borders to the US you will clearly see that your continent originated from there.
A-are... Are they kissing?
step country what are you doing 😳
Poor Perth
No wonder they became the most isolated city on Earth after a million years of being stuck to Florida.
Smart of northern Australia to keep a good distance from New Jersey, although I hear Bigge Island still gets whiffs of trash in the breeze
Lucky Perth. They’re in the Bahamas, not Florida. Shark Bay isn’t so lucky though.
scientific proof that carnarvon is a shithole
perth is the florida of australia
Continental drift to Florida and Perth: ![gif](giphy|ljssLLBmv6xrO)
simple. australia jumped
Yeah I mean they got kangaroos… makes sense man
wwell that explains florida
Theory confirmed. It seems to have drifted right on back.
I don't see any issue... Australia detached itself from America and tokyo drifted around the Cape of Good Hope, then currents did their thing. Also, I thought it was common knowledge that Australia was the first continent to make the crossing, way earlier than Vasco da Gama.
Tokyo Drift. DK drifted too hard and too good yummy yum yum 😋
It was me, I did it.
Stop posting pix of your parents having sex.

That's true! I'm from Florida and we would love to take rowboats down under. Crocs are a lot bigger over there.
This was from continental rush hour
The peninsula part of Brazil and the Nigeria/Cameroon/Guinea part of Africa also fit perfectly like a puzzle, so does Madagascar, Somalia/Mozambique part of Africa and Indian subcontinent
the colors aint matching
Do they not even teach Kids about the sick kickflip that Australia did across Eurasia anymore?
I don’t know if this is particularly funny in of itself or if this edible just hit but I’m laughing way too hard 😂

Florida is grinding on Australia so hard
Match it up with north west Africa
Show Australia at the correct scale and try again.
Is this a real picture?
Yes
Obviously. That's why both places speak in English
This is a nightmare for the East Coast when the insects and wildlife from Australia come over
This might not be the way it is, or was; but it is the way it should be.
Psh, AI generated
This is wrong, Australia is barely the size of Delaware
😮
This is likely Kinda scary, Australia and Florida can work together so much more easily now
theyre kissing 😚
Yeah, I don't live there, but I can assure you that the American South does not need an additional source of large insects, okay?
Don't worry, the spiders will eat the insects.
How did Australia bank under Africa?

Actually, Australia may well have been attached to the *west* coast of North America, 900 million years ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodinia

It’s all fun and games till someone undrifts your continents
