What is continental drift |
| Answer» The theory of continental drift points out that the Earth\'s continents are constantly drifting away from each other. According to this theory:\tall the continents were one single continental mass (called a Super Continent) – Pangaea\tThe earth’s crust is made of up of many sections called\xa0tectonic plates. Our continents are located on these plates. These plates are always moving around\tAccording to the theory of continental drift, the supercontinent, Pangaea, began to split some two hundred million years back.\tPangaea first split into 2 big continental masses known as Gondwanaland and Laurasia forming the southern and northern modules respectively.\tLater, Gondwanaland and Laurasia continued to break into several smaller continents that exist today. | |
