I'm in Earth Science and I need to relate Pangea to something in our everyday lives. I said Continental drift was like putting two noodles in a pool and how they will eventually drift apart.. So i need something other than that for Pangea. Thanks!

Its like a family.
At first, the mom and dad and all the little babies, are all together as one cohesive unit (family).
But overtime, the babies grow up and develop themselves in their separate lives, and eventually they all drift apart.
Yes as adults, they may still keep in touch with each other, but they may still be separated from each other, like continents.

Tectonic plates are to the Earth surface, as the cheese layer is to a pizza crust; it moves around when it is hot!

The major driving force for the mantle dynamics is the heat supplied from the high-T core, and not the slab pull force by cooling. The best analogy for this is the atmospheric circulation driven by the energy from Sun.
