Did anyone DESIGN this Earth?

Alfred Wegener is a German researcher. The main subject of the mission was meteorology and research on polar observations.

One day he was looking at a map of the earth and he noticed that. The shape of the earth's smells like a puzzle. That is, they are arranged in such a way that they fit together. This came as a huge shock to him. He began to wonder why this should be so. But no matter how much he thought, Alfred did not get an answer. Suddenly he had that thought.

What if these continents had been together at one time?

That is, what if the continents are moving?

If we take a world map and look at it in the form of a puzzle, we can also see something. The Atlantic Ocean is a perfect match for South America and Africa. That is, as if what had happened together one day had split. That's the way the researcher Alfred Wegener thought. Thus he came to the conclusion that continents have motion. He decided to study this in detail to confirm this conclusion.

He hypothesized that centuries ago all the continents were held together in a single continent, That is called Pangea.

Pangea is a Greek expression meaning all countries. Wegener believed that the continents we see today was formed by the movement of continents over the years. He called this process Continental Drift. He began searching for evidence to prove this theory.

The fossil record strongly supports the theory of Continental Drift. Fossils of similar relics and animals have been found on rocks of the same age on the shores of different continents . For example, fossils of freshwater reptiles, such as crocodiles, have been found in South Africa and East and South America during the Permian period, between 286 and 258 million years ago. It is called Mesosaurus. However, fossils of the endangered reptile Lystrosaurus are found not only in Mesosaurus, but also in Antarctica, India, and South Africa. Fossils of Glossopteris, the 3rd most common Shrub, have been found in Australia, South Africa, South America, India, and Antarctica. However, Glossopteris, which has very heavy seeds, cannot move in the wind or in ocean currents. There is no record of the other two creatures being able to overcome the stench. So these fossils, which have been found in various places, support Wegener's theory.

The same rocks of the same type, the same age, that are weedy, are found on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Wegener opined that the rocks formed one after the other and then split into two sides. These rocks, which have the same structure, are located on opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean. For example, the Appalachians' range in the United States and Canada is very similar to that in Greenland, Ireland, the United Kingdom, and Norway. According to Wegener, these formed a single mountain range and were separated by the movement of the continent.

Glacier is the process by which ice melts on mountains or near poles and becomes an iceberg. However, if the glacier flows over the rocks, large scratches can be seen on them. As the wind blows, it is called Glacial Striation.

However, Glacial fossils from the Permo Carboniferous period were widely distributed in South America, Africa, Madagascar, Arabia, India, Antarctica, and Australia.

This Glacial Striation can be seen in the tropical rain forest areas we see now in South Africa and the United States. We call tropical rain forest a hot and humid climate. In addition, it is one of the hottest places to see near the equator.

So how did Glacial striation come to be seen in these places along the equator?

We can only say one reason for that. Once upon a time this tropical rain forest must have existed in a cold part. This means that all of these forests we see today may once have been near the South Pole.

Thus all the evidence was organized by Wegener. But in the eyes of scientists, his theory was a joke. Because Wegener was unable to answer one of their key questions.

Why is this movement actually happening?

So he began to search for answers to that question. But he did not have to look for it for long.

Wegener made a trip to the North Pole as part of the investigation. It was a very windy and cold time. It was getting very cold there. He was very brave but his body started to get tired. So Alfred Wegener died there. He died before his theory was accepted by the world.

Scientists find the answer to that question he left later.

Plate Tectonics theory originated in further study of it.
The earth has 3 layers.

Core, Mantle, Crust.

We are on the Crust side. But the parts below this crust are not a single level solid land. Rather it is like pieces. They are called Tectonics Plates. This crust layer is moving. This movement varies from 1cm to 10cm per year. The movement of these plates is called plate tectonics. tectonics

These tectonic plates move in 3 ways. When they move in the same direction, they are called convergent boundaries. When they move in the same direction and collide with each other, they rise and form mountains. But when these plates move in opposite directions there is a gap. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge created this gap. The third movement is called the Transforma Boundaries. That is, the process by which one plate goes up and the next down. The reason why earthquake is happening. But researchers are still trying to determine the origin of the movement. Studies are also underway on whether the split Pangea, which took many years, will be reunited after many years.

This does not mean waiting. Because it doesn’t matter what happens in all of our lifetimes.

But we can be proud that we realize and learn something that did not happen in our lifetime.
