Plate Tectonics lets shift in to gear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey you Yeah you I have a question what is Pangaea???? Well Pangaea was formed along time ago it was when all of the continents were one big continent so basically you could walk to Italy with out crossing the ocean. Really what did Pangaea look like? It looks like this.
Many scientist believe that this could happen again in a few millions years. Really well why do they think that?? Because it happened once before it could happen again the earth changes everyday they never know what it gonna happen to the earth. WOW!!!! Yeah wow is right now I'm going to tell you what I'm really here to talk about its called Plate Tectonics its what shifts under the earth. I did not know that anything shifted under the earth. Well Plate Tectonics do here this is what they look like.
Hey that picture looks really cool!!!! Well that's because plate tectonics are cool... To explain more about plate tectonics watch this video.
Did you like that guy's Australian voice??? Yeah!!!! Ok then when plate tectonics shift it happens way far down that is why we can't feel it. Do you know what causes earth quakes??? Plate tectonics?? Right good job. Plate tectonics also cause mountains to be formed. Ok now I will name different types of plate tectonics. Pacific plate , Antarctic plate , North American plate , Indian Australian plate , African plate , Eurasian plate , Nazca plate , and the South American plate. Now that you know all about plate tectonics I would like to tell you a little more about Pangaea but sense you know what Pangaea means I'm going to tell you who figured out Pangaea. Ok who figured it out?!!? I'm getting to that!!!! The guy who discovered it was Alfred Wagner and he saw that South Africa could fit perfectly to Africa and he also found fossils in one contenent that did not belong where he found them. At first everybody laughed at his theory now he is famous for what he did. To sum up the earth it goes crust,mantle,outer core and inner core. Crust is what we stand on. Under the crust is the mantle it is cool/warm. The outer core is under the mantle and it is very hot. The inner core is under the outer core and it is scalding hot don't touch it haha!!! Bye hope you enjoyed.
