Geologically, Greenland was originally a part of the continent Arctica. Throughout the millions of years, Greenland has been connected to the U.S. and Canada as what would become a continent known as Laurentia. Before this, Laurentia was part of Kenorland, Columbia, became independent, joined again with Rodinia, Pannotia, became independent again, joined with Euramerica, Pangaea, Laurasia, and finally separated into what we know as North America in the Cretaceous period. Throughout time, Greenland broke off from the rest of Laurentia to form what we know is Greenland.

Scientists have discovered Greenland was not always covered in ice. There are some tectonic features that are very thin so Greenland moved farther north and with the cold, it became covered in ice and snow. At one time all the continents were connected and it was called Pangaea. The tectonic plates on the earth shift slowly and land gets pushed up or down. This causes mountains and volcanoes. The Vikings came over around the year 1000. Erik the Red was kicked out of Iceland for killing someone so he settled in Greenland. He named it that to convince other Vikings into joining him there.
