2014 SCI101-1402B-07 Continental Drift Abstract The Earth is formed by plate tectonics continuously shifting causing a continental drift. This theory is more accepted than when it was originally published due to better technology providing better research and evidence. This paper discusses a little on both the plate tectonics and the continental drift as well as how the scientific method helped understand this process better. key words: Continental Drift‚ Scientific Theory‚ Plate tectonics

Continental Drift Were the continents of this planet always situated the way they are today? Could there have been one supercontinent that over time broke off into the continents we know now?

Genetic Drift Genetic drift‚ also known as allelic drift‚ is the change in the number of gene variants‚ alleles‚ in a population because of random sampling. The allele frequency in a population is the fraction of the copies of one gene that share a specific form. The alleles in the offspring are a sample of gene variants in its parents. Chance plays a part in whether one survives and carries its genes on‚ or does not. Genetic drift may cause gene variants to disappear completely resulting in reduced

Tectonics and Continental Drift Past and Present Locations Abstract When we look at our earth’s surface now it has seven continents‚ and five of them are divided by the oceans that surround them. In 1912 Alfred Wegner (1880-1930)‚ came up with a theory called the continental drift; stating that over three hundred years ago all seven continents were once one super continent called Pangaea. Wegner tried to convince other scientists and geologist for many years that the continents
