Examples of continental drift

• From a geophysical perspective, analysing the fluid motion induced by the instability of liquid layers provides rational models for predicting continental drift and volcanic activity.

• Importance of continental drift in the distribution and evolution of ixodid ticks.

• A new class of faults and their bearing on continental drift.

• He was an early proponent of continental drift and the unauthodox expanding earth theory.

• Seafloor spreading helps explain continental drift in the theory of plate tectonics.

• He later attributed these anomalies to continental drift.

• Crustal movements (such as continental drift) or polar cap melting are slow secular events.

• Plate motion should not be confused with continental drift which applies purely to the movement of the crustal components of the continents.
