Plate Tectonics • The Earth’s crust is divided into 12 major plates which are moved in various directions. • This plate motion causes them to collide‚ pull apart‚ or scrape against each other. • Each

ask questions about the earth and it’s continents. Why are the same fossils found on opposite sides of the globe? Why do South America and Africa seem to fit together like two pieces of a jigsaw puzzle? Some scientists went to rather extreme measures to explain these strange phenomenons. Others took the time to come up with detailed theories. The theories that are accurate to us today‚ however‚ were considered impractical back then. The idea that the continents were all moving and gradually spreading
