PPT-The Theory of Continental Drift

The World ALFRED WEGENER THEORY OF CONTINENTAL DRIFT Found evidence for PANGAEA and proposed the theory of continental drift Continental Drift Theory Theory that continents were once part of a single landmass 200 million years ago that broke apart and have moved to their present locations .

Continental’s R&D activities in Slovakia (Tires). In 1812, Alfred Wegener presented his scientific theory called “Continental Drift”. It was based on his belief that the continents had drifted apart from one another.. Pangaea. Wegener ‘s hypothesis was that all the continents had once been joined together in a single landmass and have since drifted apart.. Continental Drift. Objectives. Summarize Wegner’s hypothesis of continental drift. Describe the process of sea floor spreading. Identify how paleomagnetism provides support for the idea of sea floor spreading. Manu Awasthi⁺. , .

In view of an increase of sensitive mass for the experiment at FNAL, and considering the extremely high LAr purity achieved with the T600 at LNGS, we are evaluating the possibility to increase the actual maximum drift distance of the T600..
