1.  How would the world be different today, geopolitically speaking, if
the ancient land masses had never drifted apart and, therefore,
today's world consisted of a single supercontintent?

2.  What would today's world be like if the land mass which formed the
Greek peninsula never existed?

3.  What would today's world be like if the land bridge which joined
Alaska to Asia never existed?

4.  Why do all the major peninsulas on earth point south?  See for
example:  Italy, Greece, Florida, and Baja, and the tips of Africa,
South America, India, Norway, Sweden, Greenland, and many other
landmasses.
