The Great Divide-A Study of Continental Drift

1996
Some scientists believe the earth was once one large continent called Panagaea. Studying the shape of today's continents, the fossils common to different world regions, and ice age clues, the theory of the Continental Drift developed. What separated the land? Earthquakes. Here you'll find a history of the continental drift, the scientists involved, and an extensive section on earthquakes--where and why they occur, photographs of recent earthquake disasters, and links.
