Where did the continents come from?
Geology & Landform1. Continental drift: The mystery of moving landmasses The origin and movement of continents has long been a subject of fascination and scientific investigation. The theory of continental drift, proposed by Alfred Wegener in the early 20th century, revolutionized our understanding of Earth’s landmasses. According to this theory, the continents were once part of a

Why Iberia Remains Unearthed: Exploring the Absence of an Iberian Tectonic Plate
Geology & LandformWhy isn’t Iberia a tectonic plate? Plate tectonics is a fundamental concept in Earth science that explains the dynamic nature of the Earth’s lithosphere, which is composed of several interacting tectonic plates. The movement and interaction of these plates give rise to various geological phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountain
