Did you know that millions of years ago, all the continents were joined together as one massive supercontinent called Pangaea? Over 200 million years ago during the Mesozoic Era, this landmass began to break apart, leading to the continents we see today — and they are still drifting!
This theory was first proposed in 1912 by German scientist Alfred Wegener. He supported his idea with fascinating evidence:
🦴 Identical fossils of plants and animals (like Mesosaurus and Glossopteris) found on continents thousands of miles apart.
🏔 Similar mountain ranges and rock formations on different continents.
🌊 Coastlines that fit together like puzzle pieces (South America & Africa).
In this Historic Hindi video, we explore:
✅ How Continental Drift Theory was discovered
✅ The role of fossils in proving Pangaea’s existence
✅ The timeline from Paleozoic to Mesozoic to the present
✅ How tectonic plates move and shape our planet
✅ Mind-blowing facts about Earth’s ever-changing surface
From the breakup of Pangaea to the world map we know today, this is the epic journey of our continents. 🌏✨
📌 Watch till the end to uncover the science, history, and mysteries of our moving planet!
