Alfred Wegener’s theory about the continents moving was continental drift. He based his argument over the observation the many of the coastlines on opposite sides of the ocean fit together. This observation and the idea that continents had once been joined, had been made previously. Abraham Ortelius a Flemish mapmaker from and geographer in the 1500s Pointed out that the coasts of the Americas and Europe and Africa matched and this suggested they had been torn apart from each other. Alfred also noticed that fossils similar to each other were being found oceans apart. He tried to explain this by hypothesizing that a very long time ago all of Earth’s continents were joined and made one giant supercontinent named Pangaea. His theory was that at

Cheryl and Dave Kremer gave birth to their son, Ted Kremer, thirty years ago. Ted was born with a disability called Down syndrome, and doctors told his parents that he wouldn’t get to live a normal life. They said that Ted might not be able to walk or talk. Cheryl and Dave wanted to prove the doctors were wrong. They decided to take him home and raise him to be strong, independent, respectful and an intelligent young man. Ted melted the hearts of Cincinnati Reds fans and continues to inspire almost everyone who has the pleasure of meeting him.

Have you ever thought of something, such as a goal in life or desiring something to happen, and it came to life? The author Robert Cormier has had these thoughts and visions, and has brought them to life in his writing. After reading Rag In The Bone Shop, Fade, Heroes, and Tunes For Bears To Dance to, it’s safe to note that his novels are similar to each other. Robert Cormier’s biography of his main characters, the dark nature of his books, and his way of writing truly shows how all of his novels are similar and linked to each other.
When one thinks of notable authors that have left a lasting legacy in the literary world, they think of writers such as William Shakespeare, Mark Twain and Stephen King. Robert Cormier isn’t the first name to come to mind. In fact, one may not even know who he is. But yet he is considered by many who are familiar with his work to be “one of the most important American writers for young adults”. Cormier’s ride through what we consider today the Contemporary Period, shaped his writing and led to his contributions as a young adult author that would redefine the genre with his dark and realistic portrayal of society.
Alfred Wegener was a meteorologist and astronomer. He was the first scientist to introduce the theory of the continental drift. Wegener theorized that at one time the continents were one large landmass or Pangaea that had drifted apart. His ideas were initially rejected by other scientists. It was not until long after Wegener’s death that proof was obtained and his theory verified.
Alfred Wegener, a 20th century scientist proposed the Continental Drift Theory. His hypothesis proposed that the continents had once been joined as one super continent, and over time had drifted apart. Fossils of the same species of extinct plants and animals in rocks of the same age, but on continents that are now widely separated providing more evidence that these super continents once existed. This suggested that the continents could not have been in their current positions because the organisms would not have been able to travel across the oceans. For example, fossils of the seed fern Glossopteris are found across all of the southern continents. But the plants' seeds were too heavy to be carried across the ocean by wind. Mesosaurus fossils
In The Canterbury Tales the General Prologue, Chaucer’s use of satire helps us as the reader to understand the social classes and their flaws. Chaucer uses satire to shows us the corruption, because you can't speak out about the upper class or the church, or the king will have you killed. His satire helps us to understand how corrupt the world was at the time. The characters who help us understand the social classes the most, would be the Parson and the Frier.
Almost two-hundred million years ago, all of the earth's continents formed an immense supercontinent, Pangea. The land that made up Pangea formed on several different geological plates instead of just one plate. This caused Pangea to break apart into several different continents. After the continents broke apart, they started to move away from each other. Alfred Wegener and Frank Taylor, a pair of scientists of 1912, first developed the "Continental Drift" theory. While this occurred about two-hundred millennia ago, continental drift still happens today, but people can't feel it. Even though the continents can't be seen moving, evidence proves that, in fact, the continents still drift around today. Scientists have found multiple pieces

However, Wegener believed that only the continents were moving and they plowed through the rocks of the ocean basins. (Colliers Encyclopedia, 1996) Harold Jeffreys then argued that it is impossible for continents to break through solid rock without breaking apart. (USGS, 2012) Wegener also claimed that the centrifugal force of the spinning planet had forced the continents sideways, parallel to the equator; tidal pull from the sun and moon had caused lateral movement. (Sant, Joseph, 2012) His orders of magnitude were too weak. Thus, his theory was dismissed. (Lois Van Wagner, 2013)
