Describe the permanence of land mass locations. Open the planet up to investigate its internal structure. Modify the internal process settings. Determine what makes the rocks melt and the crust move Modify and monitor what happens to the movement of the continents as changes are made to the internal process Monitor breakup of the super continent and the resultant continental movement. Students will be able to successfully answer questions 1 - 5.
Continental movement is an ongoing process.
With guidance, students should be able to postulate that in another 250-600 millions of years, all the continents will join once again. Grasping this last concept will lead into further investigation of the natural forces active in our daily lives.
