Over geological time, as the continents drift, they occasionally form one huge supercontinent, with all the landmasses on Earth connected together. The last time this occurred was in the Late Permian period, around 200-300 million years ago. The first time such a supercontinent formed was around 3,100 million years ago. Geologists refer to this first supercontinent as Vaalbara.
