Explains continents moved over time from a single landmass.
The supercontinent that existed before continents drifted apart.
Plate Tectonics includes mechanisms for plate movement, unlike Drift.
The northern and southern parts of Pangaea, respectively.
Coastline similarity and fossil distribution across continents.
Lacked a mechanism for how continents could move.
Plates interact through divergence, convergence, or transform motion.
Earthquakes, volcanism, and the formation of landforms.
Can lead to natural disasters like earthquakes and tsunamis.
Convection currents in the Earth's mantle.
