| Alfred Lothar Wegener | the guy who created drift theory |
| Pangaea | the concept that there was one gigantic continent, from which our current continents came |
| Connective Events | Weakness of Drift Theory: it can't be explained why the continents moved/drifted |
| Evidence of Drift Theory | continents actually look like puzzle pieces; fossil remains were found on edges of continents; glaciers; rocks and mountain formations; climate |
| Crust, Mantle, Core | Three main parts of the earth |
| Layers of Earth | Crust; Asthenosphere; Mantel, Outer Core; Inner Core |
| Asthenosphere | The liquid rock - where the transition from mantle to crust is |
| Mantle | The largest portion of the earth (83%) |
| Outer Core | Liquid (iron/nickle) creates the magnetic field to protect the earth |
| Inner Core | Moves faster than the earth itself. It is solid Iron and Nickel |
