Continental+Drift

Continental drift is the hypothesis that states that the continests once formed a single land mass, broke up and drifted to their present locations. Wegener, a German scientist, hypothesized that the continents were once all formed into one giant landmass. It makes sense because when you look at the shaped of the continents they seem like they would fit together almost like a puzzle. Over the years these continents drifted to the spots whee they are all located now. They are still moving, however. Not fast enough that we can feel it but they are.
