 Here i learned that NASA is already tracking plate movement from satalites. On these site i learned that Sir Francis Bacon was first to notice that South America was moving away from Africa. I also learned that Alfred Wegener came up with the theroy that the plates moved. His theroy was supported by fossils, shapes and climate. The same fossils that were found in South America were found in Africa. He also noticed that all the continets looked like a giant jigsaw puzzle. The climate was also differt because in Africa they found a layer of ice deep beneath the surface and in Anartica they found tropical fossils under the ice.

Did you notice that South America ans Africa fit together if you put them together. 200 million years ago all the contanets were together the name of this was Pangaea. Sir Francis Bacon was the first one to notice this. Some ways he knows this is by climate fossils and geometry. He knows because some fossils that live in the desert were frozen in very cold places. The geometry he  noticed because he put the map together like a puzzle.

Africa and South America are moving apart. If you were to put the continents together they would fit. Some people think that all the continents were once together to form one big landmass.

Earth's crust is constanly moving horizontally and vertically several inches each year. The plates iclude oceans and continents. In 1912, Alfred Wegener and Frank Taylor first proposed the theory that 200 million years ago the Earth had only one giant continent. it was known as Pangaea. The continents looked as if they were a big jigsaw puzzle.

Did you ever notice that South America and Africa fit together if you put them together?200 million years ago did you know that all of the continents were one big continent it was named the pangaea.

     The earths crust is constantly moving horizontaly and verticly.  Those movements are called "plate tectonics."  These plates may includ bothe oceans and continents in the same plate.  When the plate moves the oceans and the continents move with it too.b  200 million years ago the earth had only one giant continent but the ones today are all split apart.  The continents look as if they were a large jigsaw puzzle and it all fit together.  It was hard to get people to belive that at one time all of the continents were all together.  One of the more difficult ideas for people of all ages to comprehend is the time over which the earth has formed and involved.

        Did you know that 200 million years ago our whole world was all one continent? This big joined continent was once called Pangea. Over the years Pangea slowly separated from a cycle called continental drift. Today if you were to put all of the continents together they would fit all together like a jig-saw puzzzle. One of the main men that started this hypothisis was Alfred Wagner. He had three different words that represented his hypothisis about Pangea. Those three words was fossils, climate, and geology.

       200 million years ago Earth's continents were joined together. The super  continent was called Pangaea. Alfred Wegener was a German meterologist and geologist. He was the first person to start the theory of continental drift. His theory was that 200 million years ago the Earth had only one giant continent,from wihten today's continents broke apart and drifted into their current locations. He used fossils,climate,and geology to help support his theory.

     Did you ever see that South America and Africa will fit together? 200 million years ago the continents had fit together to make one super continent called pangaea. Today it is broken up into 7 continents.  

Tyler,

Today I learned that over 200 million years ago that all the continents were conected and formed a super continent. Its  name was Pangaea. Over the years the plates seperated and became 7 differint continents.
