Based on the works of Geologist over the years, it has been shown that lithospheric plates move. This movement also serve as evidence of the active nature of the earth. Continental drift is a principle that explains the current position of the earth lithospheric plate. This principle was put forward by Alfred Wegener in 1915 when he observed that the earth plates will fit together like a puzzle with other supporting evidence. He called the whole mass Pangaea, which means all land. This principle was not agreed upon by all geoscientist at this time, because Wegener was unable to give the reason for what causes the plate movement.
