1. For the past two weeks, you have been examining maps and studying evidence related to our driving question…How is the Earth Changing? Based on this information, how would you answer this question right now?

The Earth is changing because of the tectonic plates. The theory of the continental drift states that the continents were once together and they have gradually moved apart. We looked at 6 pieces of evidence that Alfred Wegner and other scientists used to back their theory up. The six pieces of evidence are animal and plant fossils, fit of continents, glaciers, rock sequences, and climate change in Antartica. We were split into groups and we analyzed each piece of evidence. Once we analyzed them all we came to the conclusion that the Earth has changed and it is still changing.
2. When you consider all six types of phenomena (animal and plant fossils, fit of continents, glaciers, rock sequences and climate change in Antarctica), which piece(s) of information seem most convincing to support the theory of continental drift?

I think that they are all pretty convincing once you look at the information. I think that the most convincing ones are the fit of continents and the sequence of rocks. I think that because they are the most obvious ones to look at and analyze.

3. What questions do you have about the theory of continental drift?

None right now.
