The Continents Are Moving When Will They Collide
The article discusses the theory of continental drift proposed by Alfred Wegener in the early 20th century, which contradicted the popular belief that Earth’s continents had remained steady. This theory laid the foundation for the modern theory of plate tectonics and the understanding of supercontinents. Scientists have been able to trace the position of continents over time and predict the emergence of future supercontinents. However, the environmental impact of continental shifts, such as the release of greenhouse gases, poses challenges that need to be addressed in the future.
