Anyway, we did an activity where we had to cut out the continents and glue them to each other so it would look like Pangea, the theorized continent which was theoretically made of the continents of now, before they theoretically split... theoretically of course. And then, we had to include a picture of ours in the post. (Sorry about the potato quality here).
I learned about the many theories of what the earth might have been like millions of years ago. One of those things was the theory of Continental Drift from Wegner, saying that the continents slide over the ocean floor. I don't know how and why he would possibly think that, especially with him being a meteorologist.
However, the theory thought of by Hess 40 years later, of Seafloor Spreading, was more rational. He took into consideration the fact that magma can rise from the cracks to from new seafloor, when at the same time, making the continents push away from each other. Good job Hess!
