Note Taking Earthquake

Continental drift is the hypothesis that states continents on one formed single land mass, broke up, and drifted to the present location
Alfred Wegerner wrote a hypothesis of continental drift
Wegener observed it he calls it Pangaea in Greek it means all earth  
Submerged Mountains run though Atlantic Ocean
Underwater Mountains ''Mid Ocean Ridges"
Sea-Flooring spreading is the process by which new oceanic lithosphere forms as magma rises toward surface
Tectonic plates cause earth quakes in our earth
In the tectonic plates there are other things in side that move
The earth layers can fold,compression and tension
There is also faulting happening in the earths layer
