 Geography
It is the study of the earth and its people.
It covers the study iof the physical
structures of the earth, various
landforms and bodies of water, climate
and weather and natural resources of a
certain place.
Earth Structure
Earth was formed approximately 4.5 billion yrs
ago. It is made up of thin layered structures or
shells surrounded by a soft interior. Earths
outermost, rigid , rocky layer is called crust. Crust
are divided to huge rigid blocks called plate that
contains the world continents. Below the crust is
the mantle, a layer of extremely hot rocks which
makes some of its parts dense. The inner part of
the earth is called core.
 Continental Drift Theory
Plates do not remain at rest in their positions.
Instead, they move like boats drifting aimlessly
around the mantle. Plates move very slowly -
around five centimeters every year.
 These movements cause earthquakes, volvanic
eruptions and formation of mountain rages such as
the Himalayas. Mountain ranges can be formed
through the collision of the plates. This also explains
the continents change of position over millions of
years.

The continental Drift Theory was proposed in 1916 by

Alfred Wegener, a geologist and meteorologist
