3 What are Plate Tectonics? Plate tectonics is the theory that the rigid outer portion of the earth is broken into large separate sections, called tectonic plates, each moving at a specific speed in a specific direction.

4 What is Pangaea? Pangaea is a single landmass, or supercontinent, that existed from about 350 million to 200 million years ago and was separated by plate tectonics, forming the current continents.

5  One of the seven great landmasses of the earth, including Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe, N. America, and S. America

6 What is Continental Drift? Continental Drift is a theory that the continents were attached together in the past, and have been drifting apart ever since.

7  The 3 plate boundaries are : Convergent, Divergent, and Transform.  Convergent boundaries are going toward each other, Divergent boundaries push away from each other, and Transform boundaries are sliding pass each other.
