Next step: Write about Continental Drift, Alfred Wegener's theory that the continents once fit together like puzzle pieces, and have since changed position. Relevant vocab is shown below:
- Continental Drift - A theory that the continents were attached together in the past, and have been drifting apart ever since.
- Pangaea - A single landmass, or supercontinent, that existed from about 350 million to 200 million years ago. It was broken up by plate movements, to form the current continents.
- Fossil Evidence- when organisms died, their bodies were buried in heavy layers of sediments that were deposited on top of the bodies, and then replaced by minerals carried in water.
