Continental drift is a fascinating concept that explains how Earth's continents have moved over geological time. Did you know that this theory was first proposed by Alfred Wegener in 1912? He suggested that all continents were once part of a supercontinent called Pangaea. Over millions of years, Pangaea split apart, and the pieces drifted to their current positions. This movement is driven by the activity of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface. Continental drift has shaped our planet's geography, leading to the formation of mountains, oceans, and even influencing climate patterns. Understanding this process helps us grasp the dynamic nature of Earth and its ever-changing landscape.
