“Continental Drift” Chapter 9.1 Alfred Weneger

Q: How do you think these same animals ended up so far apart?

Review… Lithosphere Plates Continents

Continental Drift Hypothesis: Continents fit together like puzzle. What the heck?! Super-Continent! Name = “Pangaea” = “All Earth” Pan = “All” Gaea = “GEE uh” = “Earth”

Breakup of Pangaea

Evidence: Coastlines Matching Fossils Rock types/ Mountains Ancient Climate Clues Glacial valleys! In Africa?!

“Oh yeah, HOW do the plates move then?” The Response: “No way José.” “Oh yeah, HOW do the plates move then?” Tides? Bulldozers? Nope, and Nope.  Until next time…

Questions for Pangaea Exploration To be answered on finished “Puzzle.” Where did the continents fit together well? Where were there problems? Did anyone in your group find a different solution?
