The Theory of Continental Drift. Continental Drift Theory 250 million years ago, all of the continents were combined into one super-continent called “Pangaea”

The idea that plates move is not a new one. As far back as 500 years ago, map makers noticed something curious. They saw that the east coast of South America.

Pangaea and Continental Drift. In 1915, Alfred Wegner, came up with the theory of “Continental Drift.” He believed that Earth’s crust drifted slowly on.

Plate Tectonics Hypothesis Book

TOD: IN (2) Hypothesis: an idea that can be tested by experiment or observation (Page: 34) Venn Diagram Comparing and contrasting hypothesis and Theory Theory: an idea that is the best explanation of many observations and helps to make new predictions

Book Format Cover: Title Page 1: Table of Contents My title “Alfred Wegener’s Report on the Plate Tectonics Hypothesis” Page 1: Table of Contents Page 2: Evidence to support Page 3: Letter to Public Page 4: Drawings to show evidence (2) Page 5: Letter continued Page 6: Drawings (2) Back Cover (YOUR NAME,PERIOD, DATE)

Evidence of Continental Drift Pangaea – (pan= all; gaea= Earth) A large landmass that the continents fit together to form Evidence (Page 2) Plates fit together Like a Puzzle Matching rocks on different continents Land animals on different continents Glacial marks in now tropical areas Tropical plants in Antarctica

YOUR PROJECT Write a letter from Alfred Wegener’s perspective. Your letter should use evidence (see board) and should try to convince the scientific community that his hypothesis is in fact accurate Include at least 2 pictures on each page of your journal

The continents fit together

Fossils of same species found on different continents.
