Also, with this new information that Alfred Wegener failed to provide with his theory of why the continents move will complete the theory, making there no reason to deny this theory. Tectonic Plates have a large amount of scientific evidence proving that they are real and that they do move which explains why Pangaea eventually split into separate continents and why we find similar fossils on these…

    prospect is characterized by recent summit felsic lava, caldera collapse, extrusions in the caldera bottom and widespread fumarolic activity, signifying thereby the existence of a shallow magma chamber (Tekelemariam and Beyene, 2005). Active tensional tectonics form fissures up to 2m near the volcanic complex. From the area ground water discharge to the system is guaranteed by the proximity of the area to the western escarpment. The outcome of an integrated interpretation of previous data…

    present day plate boundaries and similarities on multiple continents, It’s believed that the continents of Sciencia were once together as a supercontinent called Edisonia. The supercontinent held 6 of the 8 modern continents, which broke apart due to tectonic forces in the Lithosphere. Also, the 7th and 8th continents were believed to have formed from volcanic eruptions on convergent plate boundaries.
