The continents are not drifting, exactly. They are physically attached to the tectonic plates, which are basically enormous slabs of rock that are stacked on top of each other. The tectonic plates cause the continents to move in a process known as <u>plate tectonics,</u> also causing earthquakes, sink holes, and a number of other natural disasters. I think the best way to make a visualization of this is making a plate of pancakes, and stacking them while only half of each pancake is on top of the previous one, and as it goes up, it becomes more steep, until the point where they fall over.

ASHA 777 [7]
Hi!

Dr Pimler is going to have to run trials and experiments on this drug by successfully following the scientific method, and avoiding bias at all cost.

He will have to use certain things such as a placebo in order to avoid all forms of bias. He should also limit his knowledge of the own experiment, as to prevent observation bias.

Hopefully, this helps! =)
