German scientist Alfred wegener formed this idea of continental drift. he argued that continents once formed as a single landmass ,which he named Pangaea (Greek for 'all land') .

theory of plate tectonics

the theory of plate tectonics, as this new discovery was named, suggested that the crust of the earth is spilt up into seven large plates and a few smaller ones, all of which are able to slowly move around the earth's surface. they float on the semi - molten mantle rocks, and are moved around by the convection currents within the very hot rocks.

the plates are divided into two types : continental and oceanic
