west coast of Africa seemed to fit together like a jig-saw puzzle. Further investigations of earth revealed that some continents show matching geological sequences (rocks of similar age‚ type‚ formation‚ and structure). Similar plant and animal fossils as well as a number of climatic conditions anomalies existed in some continents. Therefore‚ a conclusion was made that all the continents were all at one time connected in a single supercontinent called a Pangaea. The gradual drifting away of the Pangaea

This phenomenon has attracted some academic attention. In Africa‚ South Africa appears to be more advanced in this regard‚ with Shoprite at the forefront of the Africanisation of South African retailers. A review of Shoprite’s expansion into the continent results in two propositions and some challenges that affect this process. The wider significance of the propositions is further examined by a study of other South African retailers expanding into Africa. The review finds that although there are

plate-tectonic theory plays a huge part in the beginning years and it tells us that continents as well as ocean floors have rigid plates in the lithosphere and these plates slide over deeper rock in the asthenosphere. The movement of these plates causes breaking and colliding across the globe and this is what in fact formed North America due to all the collisions and then welding together of many smaller continents and some island arcs during the Precambrian time. Precambrian rocks have three different
