What is continental drift and how do giant continents move across Earth's surface?
In this video, we break down the simple geology, tectonics, and geophysics behind continental movement.
Discover how all landmasses were once joined in the supercontinent Pangaea, and learn how intense heat deep inside Earth's mantle creates thermal convection currents that drive continental motion.
Explore how colliding tectonic plates form mountain ranges, trigger earthquakes, and reshape ocean basins, and find out how fast the continents are still moving beneath our feet today.
