    The document discusses two theories of continental drift: the Continental Drift Theory proposed by Alfred Wegener, which suggested that the continents were originally part of a single supercontinent called Pangaea surrounded by a single ocean, and the Plate Tectonic Theory, which explains how major landforms are created by movements of Earth's crust consisting of large and small tectonic plates resting on the asthenosphere. Evidence that supports the Plate Tectonic Theory includes paleomagnetism, which are fossils that contain records of the magnetic poles at the time they were formed millions of years ago.

    ENDOGENIC PROCESSES
    Continental  Proposed by Alfred Wegener in the
    Drift Theory early 20th century. Wegener said
    that the continents were all
    originally part of a huge landmass
    called PANGAEA that was
    surrounded by a single ocean,
    Pathalessa.
     Wegener thought that all
    continents might fit together this
    way, like a jigsaw puzzle.
    Plate Tectonic It explain how major landforms are
    Theory created as result of Earth's
    subterranean movements.
    Plate Earth's outermost or lithosphere that
    consists of seven large numerous
    smaller segments. The plates rest
    upon the soft layer of asthenosphere.
    Evidences that supports the Plate Tectonic
    Theory:
    Paleomagnetism refers to fossil formed millions pf
    or fossil years ago and contain record of the
    magnetism direction of the magnetic poles at the
    time of their formation.
