Pangaea
The 7 continent connected like a puzzle

Continental Drift Theory
This Theory reveals that the continents were connected like a puzzle, Pangaea, and they slowly drifted apart due to plate tectonic movement

Continental Drift Theory
The continents started to slowly drift apart to what we see today.

Proof of the Theories
During World War II they developed SONAR to look for Submarines and it proved Plate Tectonic and Continental Drift Theory

Plate Tectonic Theory
The Earth is not one solid piece but it is made up of slow moving labs of rock that ride over the pliable layer of the Earth.

Plate Tectonic
Plate movement could cause an Earthquake

Plate Tectonic
Plate movement can cause mountains to form

Plate Tectonic
Plate movement can cause waves to form

Plate Tectonic
Plate movement can cause volcanoes to errupt

Convergence
When 2 plate converge or smack together

Subduction
Continental plate is overrides an Oceanic Plate

Rifting
The pushing up and out of Plate Tectonic

Faulting
2 Plates Sliding back and forth against one another

Weathering The Breaking Up and Breaking Down of
Rock on the Earth’s surface into smaller and smaller pieces

Erosion The Movement of Weathered material by
water, wind, or ice.
