The Continental Drift theory proposed by Alfred Wegener in 1912 suggested that the continents were once joined together in a single landmass called Pangaea. Wegener did not have proof of his theory at the time, but later evidence from matching fossil distributions, identical rock formations between continents, and the same mountain ranges provided support. This included fossils of Glossopteris found across regions of the former supercontinent Gondwanaland. Although controversial when first introduced, the development of the theory of plate tectonics provided the mechanism of plate movement driven by convection currents to explain how the continents could drift apart.

Continental Drift Theory
Alfred Wegener first proposed the theory of continental drift in the early 20th century. He noticed that the continents appeared to fit together and were once attached in a supercontinent called Pangaea. Wegener provided evidence from matching coastlines, fossil and rock formations, and paleoclimatic data to support his theory. However, he was unable to explain the mechanism of continental drift. Most geologists at the time rejected his theory due to the lack of a clear explanation for how and why the continents would move. It was not until the 1950s when the theory of plate tectonics was developed that Wegener's concept of continental drift became widely accepted.
Sea floor spreading
Scientists in the 1950s used sonar to map the mid-ocean ridge and discovered it was not flat but contained underwater mountains. This discovery led them to research what the ridge was and how it formed. Evidence from molten rock samples, magnetic stripes in the ocean crust, and the ages of rocks drilled from the ocean floor supported Harry Hess' theory from 1960 of sea-floor spreading, where new crust forms at mid-ocean ridges and spreads outward over time.
Continental drift theory
Alfred Wegener first proposed the theory of continental drift in 1910, suggesting that the continents were once joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea. Wegener provided three lines of evidence to support his theory: the matching shapes of continental coastlines, matching fossil distributions across continents, and evidence that past climates did not match current continental positions. While his theory was initially rejected due to the lack of a mechanism, it was later supported by the discovery of seafloor spreading in the 1960s, which provided a process to explain how and why continents move over Earth's surface.
Plate Tectonics
The document discusses plate tectonics and the structure and dynamics of the Earth's interior. It describes how the crust is broken into plates that move atop the mantle due to convection currents, and the three types of plate boundaries: divergent where plates move apart, convergent where they move together, and transform where they slide past each other. It provides examples of associated geological features like mid-ocean ridges, subduction zones, volcanoes, and earthquakes.
Plate tectonics
Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth's outer shell is divided into several plates that glide over the mantle, the rocky inner layer above the core. The plates act like a hard and rigid shell compared to Earth's mantle. This strong outer layer is called the lithosphere.
Continental Drift
1) Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of continental drift, which suggested that the continents were once joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea before drifting apart over millions of years.
2) To support his theory, Wegener presented four pieces of evidence: the matching shapes of continental edges, identical fossil distributions, matching rock formations, and evidence of past climate zones that no longer align with the continents' current locations.
3) Despite this evidence, Wegener's contemporaries rejected his theory because he could not explain the mechanism that caused the continents to move. Acceptance of the theory required understanding how and why continental drift occurred.
SCIENCE Grade 10: Continental Drift Theory
Alfred Wegener, a German meteorologist, proposed the continental drift theory which hypothesized that the continents were once joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea approximately 200 million years ago. Wegener observed that the continents seemed to fit together like pieces of a puzzle. The continental drift theory provided explanations for fossil, rock, and climate evidence found on separated continents. However, the theory was controversial at the time because it lacked a mechanism for how the continents could drift apart.
Sea-Floor Spreading
1. The document discusses sea-floor spreading, which is the process where new oceanic crust forms at mid-ocean ridges as tectonic plates move away from each other.
2. Evidence that supports sea-floor spreading includes magnetic stripe patterns in the ocean floor and samples from ocean crust that show it is younger near ridges and older further away.
3. Oceanic crust is basaltic rock that forms at ridges and is then recycled in subduction zones, making it generally younger than continental crust which does not undergo this recycling process.

Plate Boundaries
The document describes the four main types of plate boundaries:
1) Divergent boundaries occur at spreading centers where new crust is created and plates move apart, such as at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
2) Convergent boundaries exist where plates collide and one is subducted under the other, forming deep ocean trenches.
3) Transform boundaries result from two plates sliding past each other horizontally, such as along the San Andreas Fault.
4) Continent-continent collisions buckle and uplift massive mountain ranges, as when India collided with Asia to form the Himalayas.
Evidence of Sea-Floor Spreading
Rock samples near mid-ocean ridges provided evidence for sea floor spreading. The youngest rocks were found near the ridges, with older rocks located farther away, showing that new crust was being created at the ridges over time. Additional evidence came from magnetic striping patterns in the rocks, which recorded changes in Earth's magnetic field during the formation of new ocean crust along the ridges. Hydrothermal vents at the ridges also indicated that magma chambers must be close to the surface in order to heat the water emerging from the vents.
Plate boundaries ppt
Earth's outer shell is divided into tectonic plates that slowly move over the mantle below. Plates interact at boundaries where they either converge and collide, causing volcanoes and earthquakes, diverge and form rift valleys and ocean ridges, or slide past each other along transform boundaries, also producing earthquakes. The movement of these plates over geological time scales shapes the earth's surface features and geography.
Plate Tectonics
Wegener first proposed continental drift in the early 20th century, suggesting that continents were once joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea. While evidence like matching coastlines and fossil distributions supported drift, Wegener could not explain the forces driving plate motions. In the 1960s, the new theory of plate tectonics emerged, proposing that Earth's outer layer is broken into rigid plates that move over the mantle. At plate boundaries, plates diverge, converge, or slide past each other, creating geological features like mid-ocean ridges and subduction zones. Paleomagnetic and seafloor spreading evidence confirmed plate tectonics, and mantle convection is now understood to be the primary driver of

Continental drift theory proposed that the continents were once joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea. Wegener provided evidence like matching fossil and rock formations across continents, but his theory was rejected due to lacking an explanation for how the continents moved. Later studies of the seafloor using sonar revealed mid-ocean ridges where new crust was formed, explaining continental drift through the process of seafloor spreading and plate tectonics. Earthquake data showed seismic activity occurs at plate boundaries, confirming the Earth's surface is composed of shifting tectonic plates.
Seafloor spreading theory discuss 3
1. Harry Hess proposed the theory of seafloor spreading in 1962, which provided evidence that Wegener's theory of continental drift was correct. Hess theorized that new ocean crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges through volcanic eruptions and then spreads outwards, pushing older crust farther away.
2. Evidence for seafloor spreading includes rock formations only possible from cooled lava, magnetic stripe patterns in ocean crust recording reversals of Earth's magnetic field, and drilling samples showing younger rock nearer to ridges.
3. Seafloor spreading is driven by convection currents in the Earth's mantle; subduction zones allow parts of ocean crust to sink back into the mantle and regulate ocean size.
CONTINENTAL DRIFT THEORY EVIDENCES ppt
The document discusses evidence that supports the continental drift theory proposed by Alfred Wegener. It describes an activity where students reconstruct the supercontinent Pangaea by fitting together continent landmass cutouts. The activity aims to showcase two key evidence: 1) the apparent fit of continents and 2) fossil correlations found across different continents. It also discusses two additional evidence put forth by Wegener: 3) past climate data like glacial striations found in present-day equatorial regions, and 4) correlations between mountain ranges and rock formations between separated continents.
Transform Plate Boundaries
This document discusses tectonic plates and transform plate boundaries. It notes that tectonic plates are large pieces of rock that make up Earth's crust, and there are two main types - oceanic and continental plates. At transform boundaries, the plates move horizontally past one another, driven by convection currents in the underlying mantle. When the plates rub together at these boundaries, it causes huge stress that results in earthquakes, faults, and tsunamis.
Theory+of+continental+drift
This document summarizes Alfred Wegener's theory of continental drift, which proposed that the continents were once joined together and have since drifted apart. Wegener noticed that the continents seemed to fit together like puzzle pieces. He gathered evidence from matching landforms, identical fossil distributions, and past climate patterns on separated continents to support his hypothesis of continental movement. While his theory was initially rejected due to lacking an explanation for the driving mechanism of drift, Wegener's extensive evidence helped revive consideration of plate tectonics and continental drift.
Continental drift
- Alfred Wegener developed the hypothesis of continental drift in 1910, proposing that the continents were once joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea before drifting apart. This idea is known as continental drift.
- Wegener provided evidence from matching fossil distributions, rock formations, and past climate patterns between continents now separated by oceans that supported his hypothesis of continental movement over time.
- However, Wegener's hypothesis was rejected by most geologists in the early 1900s due to lack of mechanisms to explain continental motion and discrepancies with existing geological theories. It was not widely accepted until new evidence emerged in the 1950s.
Continental drift &and sea floor spreading
The document discusses the theories of continental drift, seafloor spreading, and plate tectonics. It provides details on the original proponent of continental drift theory, Alfred Wegener, in 1915. It also outlines various geological, climatic, and biological evidence that supports continental drift. The document then discusses the sea floor spreading theory proposed by Harry Hess in the 1960s, which helped explain continental drift. It notes evidence that the ocean floor becomes progressively younger near mid-ocean ridges. Finally, it describes how the theories of continental drift and sea floor spreading were combined into the comprehensive theory of plate tectonics.
Divergent plate boundary PPT
Divergent plate boundaries occur when two tectonic plates move away from each other. As the plates separate, new crust is formed in between through volcanic activity and magma solidifying. This results in the creation of geological features such as mid-ocean ridges under the ocean or rift valleys on land. Over millions of years, continued separation at divergent boundaries can lead to the formation of new oceans as the crust spreads out.
Platetectonics theory
The document discusses plate tectonic theory and provides evidence for plate tectonics. It explains that the lithosphere is broken into plates that move atop the asthenosphere due to convection currents in the mantle. There are three types of plate boundaries - divergent where plates move apart, convergent where they move together, and transform where they slide past each other. Plate tectonics helps explain geological phenomena like volcanoes, earthquakes, and mountain building.

Diastrophism
Diastrophism refers to movements and deformations of the Earth's crust. Forces acting on the crust can cause it to fold, fault, or trench. Folding occurs when crust crumples and bends, faulting when it fractures, and trenching when large rock masses slide against each other. These movements are driven by processes like plate tectonics, where continental plates slowly move and interact at boundaries, which can cause earthquakes and volcanic activity. Evidence like matching fossil and rock formations between separated continents supports the theory of plate tectonics and the past existence of supercontinents like Pangaea.
Continental drift theory
According to the continental drift hypothesis, the continents have slowly moved over time to their current positions. Alfred Wegener first proposed this theory in 1912. Seafloor spreading provided insight into the mechanism of plate tectonics, with magma pushing the plates apart at mid-ocean ridges and subduction zones pulling them under. About 225 million years ago, nearly all land was part of the supercontinent Pangaea, which has since broken apart, forming the continents in their current positions.

The document discusses plate tectonics and the key concepts of plate tectonic theory. It describes how the lithosphere is broken into large plates that move over Earth's surface, driven by convection currents in the underlying mantle. It outlines the three main types of plate boundaries - divergent boundaries where new crust forms, transform boundaries where plates slide past each other, and convergent boundaries where plates collide and one slides under the other. It also discusses the evidence that supported the development of plate tectonic theory, such as seafloor spreading and magnetic reversals recorded in oceanic crust.
EARTH'S MECHANISM.pptx
The document discusses theories of the Earth's movement including continental drift and seafloor spreading. It explains that mantle convection causes lithospheric plates to move via convection currents. Hot mantle material rises and cools, sinking elsewhere, moving the plates over geologic timescales through processes like ridge push and slab pull. Plate tectonics integrates these ideas to explain volcanoes, earthquakes, and mountain building at plate boundaries.
Continental drift theory and seafloor spreading
The document discusses continental drift theory and seafloor spreading. Continental drift theory states that the continents were once joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea before drifting apart. Evidence for this includes matching fossil and rock formations, as well as coal deposits. Seafloor spreading theory developed by Harry Hess and Robert Dietz proposes that new ocean crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges as the continents separate. Evidence includes the age of ocean rocks decreasing with distance from ridges and magnetic reversals in ocean crust.

While initially rejected, Wegener's theory helped establish the modern theory of plate tectonics.
Continental drift - A2 Geography
Continental drift is the slow movement of continents across the Earth's surface over geological time due to tectonic plate motions. Evidence for continental drift includes: the matching continental outlines of separated continents; matching fossil, rock, and glacial deposits between continents; and paleomagnetic data showing continents have moved over time. The theory of continental drift was proposed by Alfred Wegener in 1915 but was not widely accepted until the 1960s when seafloor spreading and plate tectonics were discovered, providing a mechanism to explain continental drift.

Continental drift theory (1)
Alfred Wegener first proposed his theory of continental drift in 1910. He noticed that the continents seemed to fit together like puzzle pieces. Wegener also presented three lines of evidence to support his theory: landforms on different continents matched up, matching plant and animal fossils were found on separated continents, and patterns of past climates did not match the continents' current positions. However, Wegener's theory was initially rejected because he could not explain how or why the continents would move. Wegener believed that evidence from all earth sciences was needed to understand the planet's past configurations and that new discoveries could alter conclusions.
Continental drift Theory
Alfred Wegener first developed the theory of continental drift, proposing that the continents were once joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea. Pangaea formed approximately 300 million years ago and began breaking apart after 100 million years. Wegener provided evidence for continental drift including the apparent fit of coastlines, identical fossils found across oceans, matching rock and mountain structures, and paleoclimate data showing coal in cold regions and glacial evidence in warm regions. However, his ideas were largely rejected during his lifetime.

Plate Tectonics Notes
- The Earth's crust is made up of tectonic plates that are constantly moving due to convection currents in the mantle.
- There are three types of plate boundaries: divergent where plates separate and new crust is formed, convergent where plates collide and oceanic plates are subducted, and transform where plates slide past each other.
- Evidence for plate tectonics includes magnetic patterns in ocean crust, matching fossils and rock formations on separated continents, and the fit of continental shelves. Plate movements have caused continents like Pangaea to break apart over millions of years.
Plate Tectonics
The document discusses plate tectonics and the evidence that supports the theory of continental drift and plate tectonics. It describes how early scientists like Wegener proposed that the continents were once joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea based on matching coastlines and fossil evidence. Later, developments in technology like sonar and sea floor drilling provided further evidence of seafloor spreading at mid-ocean ridges, supporting the modern theory of plate tectonics. The earth's crust is broken into plates that move relative to each other at different boundary types, including divergent boundaries where new crust is created and convergent boundaries where plates collide.

Alfred wegener presentation
Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of continental drift in the early 1900s, which suggested that the continents were once joined together and have since drifted apart over millions of years. This helped explain similarities in fossils and rock formations across continents. Though initially lacking evidence, Wegener's theory is now widely accepted due to evidence like matching coastlines, fossil and rock matches between continents, and the fit of continents across oceans. The supercontinent Pangaea broke apart into Gondwana and Laurasia around 200 million years ago.

- The document discusses Alfred Wegener's theory of continental drift from 1915, which proposed that the continents were once joined together in a single landmass called Pangaea before drifting apart over millions of years.
- Wegener argued that the continents could have moved across the surface of the Earth because the continents are thin and could crack under tension, floating on top of the denser basalt rock that forms the Earth's core.
- Evidence that supported continental drift included matching coastlines of separated continents, matching fossil and mountain rock formations between continents, and patterns of ancient glaciation that indicate different past continental positions relative to the equator.
Continental drift
Continental drift is the slow movement of continents across the Earth's surface due to tectonic plate motions. Evidence for continental drift includes: the matching coastlines of separated continents; matching fossil, rock, and glacial deposits in separated areas; and paleomagnetic data showing continents were once joined. Alfred Wegener first proposed the continental drift theory in 1915, though it was not widely accepted until the 1960s when seafloor spreading was discovered, providing evidence of plate tectonics and explaining the driving force behind continental drift.

1) In the early 20th century, Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of continental drift, which suggested that the continents were once joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea before drifting apart over millions of years.
2) Wegener provided evidence from geology, fossils, and the matching coastlines of separated continents to support his theory. This included matching mountain ranges, glacial patterns that indicated different climates, and fossils found across continents.
3) While controversial at first, Wegener's theory is now widely accepted by geologists, though some dispute parts of his evidence and mechanisms. The drifting of continents explains geological features like connected mountain ranges and provides a framework for understanding historic climates and distributions of species
Continental Drift
1) Continental drift is the theory that the continents were once joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea before slowly drifting apart over hundreds of millions of years.
2) German scientist Alfred Wegener first proposed this theory in 1912, noticing that the continents seemed to fit together like puzzle pieces and that matching fossil and rock formations were found on separated continents.
3) Evidence supporting continental drift includes the matching shapes of continental shelves, the existence of the same fossil species on different continents, identical rock formations in mountain ranges now separated by oceans, and signs that regions which are now polar were once tropical.
CONTINENTAL DRIFT THEORY PPT
Continental drift is the hypothesis that the Earth's continents have moved over geologic time relative to each other, thus appearing to have "drifted" across the ocean bed.
Wegener argued that there was once a super continent (which he named Pangea -meaning ''all land ) which split up over millions of year and gradually drifted over to their current place on earth at a rate of a few centimeter year.
continental-drifting.pptx
The document summarizes the continental drift theory, which proposes that the Earth's continents were once joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea before drifting apart. It discusses how Pangaea broke into Laurasia and Gondwanaland, and the evidence that supports the theory, including matching coastlines, matching fossil and rock formations found across oceans, deposits that require adjacent landmasses, and tillite glacial deposits found on separate continents. The theory explains that the lithosphere is made of plates that move due to convection currents in the mantle.
Unit 1. 2. 2 continental drift
Earthquakes occur when energy is rapidly released due to movement along faults in the Earth's crust. Fossils found across different continents provide evidence that the continents were once joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea, which has since broken apart due to continental drift. The theory of continental drift was initially proposed in the early 20th century but was rejected due to the lack of a proposed driving mechanism until the development of the theory of plate tectonics.
Plate tectonics
The document discusses plate tectonics and the evidence supporting continental drift. It describes how Wegener first proposed the hypothesis of continental drift in 1912 based on observations that the continents seemed to fit together. The document outlines several pieces of evidence that supported Wegener's hypothesis, including matching coastlines, shared fossil distributions, and geological and climatic similarities between separated continents. It then describes how the theory of seafloor spreading provided further evidence when studies in the 1940s and 1950s showed the ocean floor was younger than the continents and spreading occurred at mid-ocean ridges. Paleomagnetic data from the seafloor also supported seafloor spreading and continental drift. Today the theory of plate tectonics unifies
5 - Continental drift.pdf
The document summarizes Alfred Wegener's theory of continental drift from 1912. It describes how Wegener proposed that the continents were once joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea, which later broke apart and drifted to their current positions. It provides details on Wegener's evidence, including the fit of continental coastlines, locations of past glaciations, distribution of climatic belts and fossils, and matching geological units. However, Wegener's theory received criticism at the time for not adequately explaining the forces driving continental drift.
Tectonics: Plate Tectonic Theory history
The document discusses plate tectonics and the evidence that supports the theory. It describes how fossils and rock formations found in different parts of the world provided early evidence that continents have moved over time. It also outlines key evidence from the mid-20th century including the discovery of sea floor spreading and magnetic reversals in ocean crust that helped establish the modern theory of plate tectonics.
Evidence... notes
1) Alfred Wegener first proposed the theory of continental drift in 1912, suggesting that the continents were once joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea and have since drifted apart.
2) Evidence supporting continental drift includes matching rock formations and fossil records found across separated continents, as well as similar fossils of tropical plants found in arctic regions, indicating past warmer climates.
3) The theory of plate tectonics emerged as scientists discovered that the ocean floors are formed through sea floor spreading at mid-ocean ridges, with the youngest rocks found at the ridges and increasing in age further away. This supported Wegener's theory that continents have moved over time.
Time traveling alfred wegener essay
Alfred Wegener traveled through time to collect evidence to prove his theory of continental drift. He discovered that plate tectonics caused the continents to drift apart. Wegener found six key pieces of evidence to support continental drift: 1) the coastlines of continents fit together like puzzle pieces, 2) matching rock sequences and ages across continents, 3) matching diamond patterns across oceans, 4) mountain ranges torn apart by continental movement, 5) matching past glacier patterns, and 6) matching fossil distributions across continents. Wegener concluded that billions of years ago the continents were joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea, which later broke apart due to plate tectonics.
The theory of plate tectonics
Pangaea was a supercontinent that existed in the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras before plate tectonics separated the continents into their current positions. Alfred Wegener first proposed the theory of continental drift in 1915 to explain similarities between fossils and rock formations found on different continents. Continental drift theorized that continents moved across Earth's surface. Sea-floor spreading further explained plate tectonics as new crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges, causing plates to move apart and the seafloor to spread.

1. In 1912, Alfred Wegener proposed the continental drift theory which hypothesized that around 200 million years ago, all the continents were joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea which later broke apart.
2. Evidence from fossils of the same plants and animals found across continents now separated by oceans, matching rock formations, and coal deposits provided support for continental drift.
3. In the 1960s, the theory of seafloor spreading was developed which helped explain continental drift as new ocean crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges and pushed continents apart.
Continental Drift Theory by Rajkumar
1. CONTINENTAL DRIFT
“Father” of this theory is Alfred Wegener.
2. The Theory of Continental Drift
Proposed by Alfred Wegener (1912):-
A large super-continent PANGEA split into smaller fragments about 200-300 million years ago. These then drifted apart to form the present arrangement of continents.
Most geologists were highly skeptical and the idea was NOT widely accepted.
3. This is what Wegener thought Pangea looked like 200-300 million years ago.
4. EVIDENCE OF CONTINENTAL DRIFT
Wegener provided four main pieces of evidence to support his theory that the continents had been drifting over time.
5. 1. JIGSAW PUZZLE
Wegener noticed that if we could move present day continents around, several continents look like they would fit together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.
6. 2. FOSSILS
Wegener also found fossils of the same plants and animals on different continents now separated by vast oceans. They could only be found this way if the continents had once been joined together.
7. 3. ROCK SEQUENCE
Wegener also found that mountain ranges have a similar sequence of type of rock and age on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, suggesting they were once part of the same mountain range.
8. 4. GLACIAL SCARS
Wegener found evidence of glacial scars left behind by giant ice sheets from the same time period in Southern Africa, India, Australia and South America.
The white areas were covered by ice and tundra about 300 million years ago (arrows show the direction of ice movement).
the continents were once part of a single larger continent that then split apart, drifting to their present positions over the last 300 million years.
9. WHAT COULD MOVE THE CONTINENTS?
Unfortunately for Wegener, he could not explain what force was powerful enough to move entire continents around the planet.
For reasons was he can't explain
Alfred Wegener died on expedition in Greenland in 1930 still searching for answers to the question of what force could be responsible for the movement of the continents.
10. Reason for Support Continental Drift?
Fit of continents
Apparent discrepancy in inferred latitudes of ancient rocks
Rocks of same age and similar characteristics on different continents
Distribution of similar plants and animals on different continents
11. WEGENERS CONCLUSIONS:
The continents have drifted over the past 300 million
years to their present positions!
(not a very popular idea at the time!!!)

Tides waves
The document summarizes information about tides, including what causes tides, applications of tides such as tidal power generation, and harmful effects. It discusses how tides are caused by the gravitational interaction between the Earth, Moon, and Sun. It also describes spring tides and neap tides, tidal ranges, and methods of generating tidal power including tidal stream turbines, tidal barrages, and tidal lagoons.
Rock deformation
Rock deformation is the process by which rocks change shape due to stress and heat. Structural geology studies rock deformation, which can occur through folds, faults, or joints. Folds involve the bending of sedimentary or volcanic rocks into undulating waves, commonly seen as anticlines and synclines or domes and basins. Faults are fractures where the earth's crust is displaced, and include dip-slip, strike-slip, and tensional or compressional faults. Joints are fractures without displacement and include columnar and sheeting joints.
Plate tectonics
The theory of plate tectonics describes how the Earth's crust is broken into plates that move around on the mantle. The lithosphere consists of the crust and rigid upper mantle, which floats on the asthenosphere, a plastic layer that allows the plates to move. There are two types of plates - oceanic and continental. Plates interact at boundaries, where they can move apart, collide together, or slide past one another, causing earthquakes. Convection currents in the mantle provide the driving force for plate tectonics as hot rock rises and cools, sinking and repeating the cycle.
Parts of volcano
The document defines a volcano as a vent or chimney connecting molten rock from within the Earth's crust to its surface. It describes key parts of a volcano including vents, craters, magma chambers, flanks, summits, ash clouds, lava/magma, and conduits. It also explains the difference between quiet and explosive eruptions and notes benefits of volcanoes such as fertile soil and new land formations.
Volcanism
Volcanology is the study of volcanoes, lava, magma, and related geological phenomena. A volcano forms when magma rises from deep in the Earth's mantle and erupts on the surface. As more magma rises, it forms a magma chamber and conduit leading to a vent. Eruptions through the vent build the volcano over time. There are four main types of volcanism related to mid-ocean ridges, subduction zones, hotspots, and flood volcanism. Heat sources for volcanism include radioactive decay, accretion during planetary formation, tidal effects, and core formation deep within the Earth.
Earthquakes
Earthquakes occur when tectonic forces cause rocks underground to break, releasing energy in the form of seismic waves. The focus is the point where the rocks break, and the epicenter is the point directly above on the surface. There are three main types of seismic waves - P waves, which move particles back and forth; S waves, which move particles at right angles; and surface L waves, which cause the most damage. We measure the location and magnitude of earthquakes using seismographs to detect and measure the amplitude of the different wave types.
Earth atmosphere
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
Atmosphere
The document describes the composition and layers of Earth's atmosphere. It begins by outlining the learning objectives which are to describe the atmosphere's composition and layers, explain heat transfer mechanisms, and explain the greenhouse effect. It then provides details on the composition of the atmosphere including the main gases, atmospheric dust, and varying components. The layers of the atmosphere are defined based on temperature and composition changes at different altitudes. Heat transfer through radiation, conduction, and convection is explained. Finally, the greenhouse effect is described as gases in the atmosphere trapping heat from the sun like glass in a greenhouse.

The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defects
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.

The use of Nauplii and metanauplii artemia in aquaculture (brine shrimp).pptx
Although Artemia has been known to man for centuries, its use as a food for the culture of larval organisms apparently began only in the 1930s, when several investigators found that it made an excellent food for newly hatched fish larvae (Litvinenko et al., 2023). As aquaculture developed in the 1960s and ‘70s, the use of Artemia also became more widespread, due both to its convenience and to its nutritional value for larval organisms (Arenas-Pardo et al., 2024). The fact that Artemia dormant cysts can be stored for long periods in cans, and then used as an off-the-shelf food requiring only 24 h of incubation makes them the most convenient, least labor-intensive, live food available for aquaculture (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021). The nutritional value of Artemia, especially for marine organisms, is not constant, but varies both geographically and temporally. During the last decade, however, both the causes of Artemia nutritional variability and methods to improve poorquality Artemia have been identified (Loufi et al., 2024).
Brine shrimp (Artemia spp.) are used in marine aquaculture worldwide. Annually, more than 2,000 metric tons of dry cysts are used for cultivation of fish, crustacean, and shellfish larva. Brine shrimp are important to aquaculture because newly hatched brine shrimp nauplii (larvae) provide a food source for many fish fry (Mozanzadeh et al., 2021). Culture and harvesting of brine shrimp eggs represents another aspect of the aquaculture industry. Nauplii and metanauplii of Artemia, commonly known as brine shrimp, play a crucial role in aquaculture due to their nutritional value and suitability as live feed for many aquatic species, particularly in larval stages (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021).

Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths Forward
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.

The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically young
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.

Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.

Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.

Continental drift theory
- 2. The Continental Drift, is a theory that proposed that all of the continents were once a single land mass known as PANGAEA. This theory was proposed by ALFRED LOTHAR WEGENER
- 3. ALFRED WEGENER - A German Scientist, in the year of 1912 who proposed Continental Drift Theory.
- 5. Evidence Although, Wegener didn't have any proof, there was evidence discovered supporting the theory by several scientists. Unfortunately, the evidence was gathered after Wegner passed away. There are approximately five pieces of evidence that support the theory of the Continental Drift.
- 6. PANGAEA EVIDENCE 1. Jig saw puzzle of continents
- 7. PANGAEA EVIDENCE 2. The similar ancient animals and plant fossils, found on the edges of various continents. fossil of a Glossopteris Fossil of a Mesosaur fossil of a Cynognathus Fossil of a Lystrosaurus
- 8. PANGAEA EVIDENCE This is a map of Pangaea, showing the continents connected and showing the matching fossils of plants and animals.
- 9. PANGAEA EVIDENCE 3. Identical rock sequences and age. - Basically meaning, various countries have identical rock sequences. For Example, South America and Africa have identical rock sequences, because they were joined when Pangaea existed.
- 10. PANGAEA EVIDENCE 4. North America and Europe having the same mountain ranges. - there have been mountain ranges found in North America and Europe that are identical, proving the theory.
- 11. PANGAEA EVIDENCE 5. The climatic conditions. - There have been glacial deposits founded in the tropics and coal founded in Antarctica. This supports the theory of the Continental Drift, because coal originates from tropical plants, which can only be founded in the tropics. Additionally glacial deposits can only come from Antarctica, proving the theory.
- 12. PANGAEA EVIDENCE This photo shows the glacial deposits founded in various continents
- 13. Although, this is the theory believed by many scientists today, many were skeptical about Wegener's theory during his period of time. Many were skeptical, because he couldn't prove the theory of the Continental Drift, although he proposed the idea. Furthermore, he couldn't prove the movement of the continents. However, after Wegner passed away, it was proven that the movement of the continents, resulted from the motion of crustal plates.
- 14. Seafloor Spreading provided insight to the mechanism for how the continents moved. The magma which pushes up at the mid-ocean ridge provides the new land pushing the plates, and the subduction zones gobble up the land on the other side of the plates. The mechanism was convection currents!
- 15. Thirteen plate on the world
- 17. Pangaea about 200 million years ago, before it began breaking up. The southern portion of Pangaea GONDWANA, and the northern portion LAURASIA.
- 22. As the seafloor spreads apart at a mid-ocean ridge, new seafloor is created.
- 24. Earthquakes and volcanoes occur mostly along or nearEarthquakes and volcanoes occur mostly along or near trenches and mid-ocean ridges...trenches and mid-ocean ridges...
- 30. Continents look like they could be part of a giant jigsaw puzzle
- 31. Distribution of fossils of several organisms supported The theory that the continents were once joined together
- 32. Francis Bacon (1561-1626) first noted how coasts of Africa and South America fit.
- 33. Mesosaurus, a fresh water reptile that couldn’t swim across the open sea
- 34. Same rock patterns found in South America, India, Africa, Antarctica and Australia
- 35. Mountains in South America and Antarctica are believed to have formed as part of the same mountain chain.
- 36. Tropical plant remains (coal deposits) found in Antarctica Glaciations in Africa, South America, India, and Australia during the same time
- 37. Deposits found in Antarctica. Coal requires a warm, lush climate ===> What’s Antarctica like today? ===>
- 39. Fossils of Glossopteris are found in Permian rocks of South Africa, India, Australia, South America, and Antarctica—all regions that were once part of Gondwanaland.
- 40. •No mechanism for movement of continents •Wind and currents could possibly move fossils •Theory was not accepted by scientists
