Explain the idea of ' continental drift'

Geography
1 answer:
Anika [276]3 years ago

, the world was made up of a single continent through most of geologic time. That continent eventually separated and drifted apart, forming into the seven continents we have today. The first comprehensive theory of continental drift was suggested by the German meteorologist Alfred Wegener in 1912. The hypothesis asserts that the continents consist of lighter rocks that rest on heavier crustal material—similar to the manner in which icebergs float on water. Wegener contended that the relative positions of the continents are not rigidly fixed but are slowly moving—at a rate of about one yard per century.

Well, if you look at the ocean from a standing point of view, it's pretty flat and water is spread all around the surface. Because of this, most people would assume that ocean is just flat and smooth. 

Thanks to the discovery of science, we're able to go down deep and learn that there is more to the ocean than we knew about. =)

Hope that helps! -UnicornFudge aka Nadia
