Describe the idea of continental drift
What will be an ideal response?
Continental drift proposed that continental land was not static; the continents moved. The hypothesis was well supported by the jig-saw fit of continental land masses at their margins, and by data in paleo-climatology and paleontology. Although the evidence was quite remarkable, a suitable driving mechanism to produce such crustal movement was lacking.
