I want to know the answer to the following question:
South America was formerly which continent?
All the background I'm provided with is that "As the Atlantic Ocean widened, the convergent-margin orogenies that had begun during the Jurassic continued in the North American Cordillera, as the Nevadan orogeny was followed by the Sevier and Laramide orogenies.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
