Alfred Wegner. Alfred Wegner was the first to publish the theory that continents had somehow "drifted" apart. Yet, he was unable to provide a convincing explanation for the physical processes which might have caused the continents to drift apart. . Early Evidence of Plate Tectonics . ?

3. Early Evidence of Plate Tectonics ? Early Evidence of
plate tectonics are
Fossils of animals
from one continent
found on other
continent.
4. More Evidence of Plate Tectonics ? Fossils
of plants
from one
continent
were
found on
another.
5. Continental Drift ? Continental
drift refers
to the movement
of the Earth’s
continents.
6.
? Before continental drift, all the continents were
connected as a super continent known as Pangaea.
8. Extensional Faults One type of fault is the Extensional Fault. Extensional Faults consists of two plate tectonics pulling apart from one another.
9. Compressional Faults Another type
of Fault
is called the
Compressional
Fault.
Compressional
Faults consists of
two plate tectonics
pushing together.
10. Transform Faults The third type of fault is the transform fault.
A Transform
Fault consists of two plate tectonics traveling
opposite directions
going against each
other but do not collide.
11. Subduction Zones
