PALEOGEOGRAPHIC MAPS OF EARTH Conclusion
The Theory of Plate Tectonics,
formally presented to the scientific world by Alfred Wegener in 1912, explains
how our world came to exist as it does today. However, these changes have not
stopped. They are occurring as you read this paragraph. The changes are so slow
and often times so small that we would never notice them. Some changes are
quite evident and quite dramatic as in the cases of earthquakes and
volcanic eruptions.
