By: A Peyton Isaac Production

What are Plate Tectonics? Plate tectonics is the theory that the rigid outer portion of the earth is broken into large separate sections, called tectonic plates, each moving at a specific speed in a specific direction.

What is Pangaea? Pangaea is a single landmass, or supercontinent, that existed from about 350 million to 200 million years ago and was separated by plate tectonics, forming the current continents.

 One of the seven great landmasses of the earth, including Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe, N. America, and S. America

What is Continental Drift? Continental Drift is a theory that the continents were attached together in the past, and have been drifting apart ever since.

 The 3 plate boundaries are : Convergent, Divergent, and Transform.  Convergent boundaries are going toward each other, Divergent boundaries push away from each other, and Transform boundaries are sliding pass each other.
