Objectives
Explain the continental drift theory. Name and locate the major plates & plate margins. Name and locate the Caribbean & adjacent plate Draw simple diagrams of each plate margins. Describe each plate margin Identify the landforms associated with each plate margin. Explain the formation and distribution of earthquakes,
volcanoes and fold mountains globally and in the Caribbean.

Continental Drift
The continental drift theory states that about 200 million years ago all the continents were joined together into one large super continent known as Pangaea.
Due to plate movement over time these continents moved away from each other to form the continents that we know today.
