The Cntinents and Oceans
A Brave Guess
In the late 1800s, a scientist named Alfred Wegener was interested in studying the map. He came up with a brave guess. He thught that all the cntinents nce frmed ne huge land. A single large cean was arund this super-cntinent.
Flating “Ships”
Why d the cntinents lk this way? Scientists believe that natural frces under the earth make the cntinents mve and frm the lands and ceans this way.
Over many, many centuries, slwly, the super-cntinent brke int tw cntinents. One f them began t mve t the nrth. Then it brke again, frming Nrth America, Eurpe, and Asia. The gap between Nrth America and Eurpe became part f the Atlantic Ocean.
The secnd cntinent als brke apart t frm Suth America, Africa, Australia, and Antarctica. The cntinents were like flating ships at sea, mving t where they are nwadays.
Finding Evidence
It sunds unbelievable, but scientists have fund evidence t supprt the guess. Firstly, it is the fssils. Ancient plants and animals f the same type were discvered bth in Suth America and in Africa. Did they develp at the same time in tw faraway places? It seems unlikely. Bilgists believe that there must have been land bridges r ther land cnnectins that are unseen nw.
The castlines f the cntinents als seem t fit tgether. The east cast f Suth America can fit int the lwer west cast f Africa. The east cast f Nrth America matches parts f Africa and Eurpe’s casts. It seems as if they fit tgether like pieces f a jigsaw puzzle(拼图).
Muntain rcks help explain the truth, t. Scientists has recgnized a muntain chain that is mre than fur hundred millin years ld. It runs dwn the eastern part f Greenland and western Nrway. Then it ges thrugh nrth-west Sctland and Ireland befre it reaches western Canada. Finally, it finds its way t nrth-west Africa.
