Answer (2)

The theory of continental drift suggests that the continents have moved in the past and they are still moving today. Continental drift theory seeks to explain the phenomena of plate tectonics and the movement of land masses across the planet. This theory is related to the theory of Pangea or the time when all of the continents were connected to one another millions of years ago.
