The man who first proposed the idea of continental drift; was Alfred Wegner
Born on November 1st in Berlin Germany
Alfred had a PhD in astronomy
And he also enjoyed browsing through the library
He was intrigued by some books
That showed fossil similarities
He had some ideas and it shows
So now he knows
Continental drift
Continental drift
It really does exist
Continental drift
Continental drift
The study’s show it exists
The coastlines
Match up similarly
Wagner’s on a role
And nobody can stop him now
It’s funny how a thought
Can turn into a theory
Alfred saw these slabs of earth
And called them tectonic plates
But other scientists thought he was crazy
So he went out and was not lazy
He looked for proof and he found some
Now he can’t lose!!!!
Continental Drift
Continental Drift
It really does exist
Continental drift
Continental drift
The fossils match up
An ocean
Separates them,
But how are they the same
There really are three kinds of boundaries
Divergent boundaries separate and go away from each other
Convergent boundaries make mountains and
Trenches
And transform plate boundaries
Carry objects in opposite directions
Continental Drift
Continental Drift
It really does exist
Continental drift
Continental drift
The evidence supports it
Here we stand
With this knowledge in hand
Let the earth plate’s move!!!!!
We can’t feel them anyway.
