Answer
The Asia-America separation, established during Vitus Bering's voyage in 1728, confirmed that Asia and America were two distinct continents divided by the Bering Strait. This realization challenged previous assumptions of a continuous landmass connecting the continents and paved the way for more accurate geographical understanding and subsequent explorations of the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean.
