Evidence in Support of the Continental Drift Continental Drift is the slow movement of the continents across the earth’s surface through geographical time. Continental drift…

Force for Drifting Wegener suggested that the movement accountable for the drifting of the continents was caused by pole-fleeing force and tidal force. Wegener’s thought…
