Plate Tectonics

There’s a continent called Pangea?! Well, there was! In this BrainPOP movie, Tim and Moby will explain how a continent can disappear. You’ll learn about the very first continent on Earth, how long ago it existed, and what happened to it. Discover why the earth isn’t as stable as you think it is, as well as just how much the continents can shift in a year! Also, find out about the three different kinds of plate boundaries, and what can happen at each one. Whatever happens, you probably don’t want to be there when it does!
