When the volcano explodes due to gas build up (hot temperatures), magma becomes lava. Proof # 2 • There were fossils of animals and plants on both Fold mountains and trenches are created.

Plate Tectonics - Continental Drift Proof # 1 • Visually, he saw that the continents of Africa and South America would fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. Why do the shapes of South America and Africa fit so well together? I really love all your posts about continental and plate tectonics and the nature of the LAB and mountain building… this is easily the most interesting aspect of geology/geophysics to myself and i really enjoy your writing regarding these subjects.

Precisely used, the term continental drift is actually rooted in antiquated concepts Other scientists also attempted to explain orogeny (mountain building) as resulting from Wegener's continental drift. Continental drift, in the context of the modern theory of plate tectonics, is explained by the movement of lithospheric plates over the asthenosphere (the molten, ductile, upper portion of the earth's mantle). €� Subduction • Takes place at convergent boundaries.
