Theories of Continental Movement, Part.2
1. Plate Tectonic Theory => Click here
2. Ed Suess’s Theory
According to Suess, the similarity of geological formation found in South America, India, Australia, and Antarctic is caused by unification of land, the united land is called Godwama Continent. The continent now is only remains because another parts of it has been swallowed by the sea.
3. Contraction Theory
This theory is created by Des Cartes. According to theory “That our Earth decreasesm wrinkles, because of cooling so that happened valleys.”
4. American Researchers Team
Researcher team that consists of 17 men from New York American Museum of Natural History, Ohio State University, and Whichita State University made research in South Pole (1969-1970) on purpose to prove Wagener’s theory. From the result of research, it is proved that South Pole 200 billion years ago lies near the equator. Therefore, it should be at that time in South Pole is found animals and plants. Continuesly, in 1969 in South Pole is found fossil of jaw bone of ancient fresh water amphibian that its shape is like salamander with characteristic its head is flat and its body is big and heavy. The kind of that fossil is found in region of South and North America. That proves theories bout movement of continents approaches truth. In that theory is explained that 150 billion years ago there was a big continent on this planet earth that is Laurasia land in north hemisphere and Godwana land in south hemisphere.
