these lyrics are from what song?
Needless to say, I'm keepin' her in check
She was a bad bad, nevertheless
Callin' it quits now, baby, I'm a wreck
Crash at my place, baby, you're a wreck

Wegener put his idea and his evidence together in his book named:
The Origin of Continents and Oceans.

How Plates Move?
Plates at our planet's surface move because of the intense heat in the Earth's core that causes molten rock in the mantle layer to move.

is the transfer of thermal energy by particles moving through a fluid
Convection

The continents come together and break apart about every 500 million years this is known as
Supercontinental cycle
300
continually adds new material to the ocean floor
Seafloor spreading

Explain how does convection occur?
when particles with a lot of heat energy in a liquid or gas move and take the place of particles with less heat energy. Heat energy is transferred from hot places to cooler places by convection

How many volcanoes are in the ring of fire?
75 percent
450 Volcanoes

Wegener found fossil evidence that the continents were once joined... name them
Glossopteris, Mesosaurus, Cynognathus and Lystrosaurus
400
geological process that takes place at convergent boundaries of tectonic plates where one plate moves under another and is forced to sink due to high gravitational potential energy into the mantle.

What does Wegener's continental drift hypothesis state?
All the continents were once joined together in one big continent before breaking apart and drifting to their current places.
