Geology

We're going to learn a bit about geology this week. They will ask you some questions about geology on the GED, but you don't have to be a geology expert! You just have to practice looking at information about geology and answering questions. That's what we'll do this week.

1.) Watch the video. Take notes and write down important information. You might want to watch the video more than once. Then, try to answer the questions.

Questions:

1.) According to the video, which two continental coastlines look like they match up?

2. According to the video, how many years ago were the continents joined together in a single super continent?

3. What is some additional evidence German Scientist Alfred Wegener offered for proof of continental drift?

4. According to the video, what evidence did other scientists provide years later to support theory of continental drift?
