Earth
Lithosphere:
•continuous shell of solid rock around Earth
•contains Earth’s solid crust and a flexible part of the mantle
•crust is somewhat cracked
•pushed in different directions by currents in the mantle caused by heat (convection currents).

Continental Drift and Pangea
Continents are not fixed, but drift about the surface of the Earth
About 200-250 mya, all of the Earth’s land masses were locked together in a supercontinent named Pangea, which means “all lands” .

Theory of Plate Tectonics• Earth’s lithosphere is broken up into large sections called
tectonic plates that are constantly moving.• Thicker plates form continents; thinner plates are found under
Earth’s Oceans.
