Describe Continental Drift including supporting evidence. Critique and interpret major types of evidence supporting the Theory of Plate Tectonics. Describe different geological processes in relation to plate tectonics.

As maps grew more accurate the landmasses began appeared as puzzle pieces. The continents once had fit together but had drifted apart after millions of years. The continents now far apart showed similar sediment, rock formation, and vegetation supporting the theory that they were one landmass in the past.

It discusses Alfred Wegener's continental drift theory, evidence supporting it, and the mechanism of seafloor spreading. The text describes types of tectonic plate boundaries: divergent (mid-ocean ridges), convergent (subduction and mountain formation), and transform (like the San Andreas Fault).
