Generation

Continental drift is the theory that Earth's continents have moved across the planet's surface over geological time, originally proposed by Alfred Wegener in 1912. The continents were once joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea and have since slowly drifted apart due to convection currents in the Earth's mantle. The rate of continental drift can be calculated using **v = d/t**, where v is velocity (typically measured in cm/year), d is distance, and t is time. Modern measurements show continents move at rates of about 2-10 cm per year, roughly the same rate at which fingernails grow.
