2 Seismic Waves and Earth’s Interior

3 Shadow Zone

4 Obj. 58 Describe the theory of Continental Drift.

5 Who proposed this theory? What is the theory?
Continental Drift video Who proposed this theory? What is the theory? Proposed by Alfred Wegener in 1915

6 All the Continents were Once One Huge Land Mass - Gondwanaland

7 EVIDENCE Continental coastlines ‘fit’ together like jigsaw puzzle pieces

8 2. Similar rock types, minerals and fossil along coastlines.

9 3. Wide distribution of similar plants and animals on many continents today.

10

11 What was the Problem with Wegenery’s Theory?
Could not explain what made the continents move. He said they were just floating around. HW- Labs Due tomorrow Text #1-4 Due Thursday.
