€� Subduction • Takes place at convergent boundaries. What happens to the Earth's surface through the process of plate tectonics? How do the plates show us proof of continental drift? Plate Tectonics - Continental Drift Proof # 1 • Visually, he saw that the continents of Africa and South America would fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. When the volcano explodes due to gas build up (hot temperatures), magma becomes lava. Curriki resource: Educational resources on the formation of the Appalachian mountains. Major geological events, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain building, result from plate motions . Plate Tectonics: Continental Drift and Mountain Building- Wolfgang Frisch, Martin Meschede, Ronald C. €� One plate moves Molten inside the volcano is called magma.

Plate tectonic theory grew from Wegener's continental drift hypothesis and is the unifying theory underlying modern geology and geophysics. Proof # 2 • There were fossils of animals and plants on both Fold mountains and trenches are created. Be introduced to ideas of continental drift and the supercontinents such as Pangaea. The continental plate forms high mountains, the Andes in South America.
