Science - Geology
Additional field(s): Geography
English term or phrase: continental drift
Definition from CENGAGE Learning:
The hypothesis, proposed by Alfred Wegener, that today's continents broke off from a single supercontinent and then plowed through the ocean floors into their present positions. This explanation of the shapes and locations of Earth's current continents evolved into the theory of plate tectonics.

Example sentence(s):
  • Wegener's Continental Drift theory was not readily accepted by the science community of his day. It was difficult to conceive of large continents plowing through the sea floor to move to new locations. kids.earth.nasa.gov
  • The fossil record supports and gives credence to the theories of continental drift and plate tectonics. enchantedlearning.com
  • According to the continental drift theory, the supercontinent Pangaea began to break up about 225-200 million years ago, eventually fragmenting into the continents as we know them today. USGS

رانش قاره ای


Definition from راسخون - تحقیقات گیتاش:
ورقه هايي که قاره ها بر آنها استوارند، روي لايه داغ وخميري شکل شناورند. گرماي درون زمين سبب حرکت آرام ماده خميري مي شود و با حرکت آن، ورقه ها و قاره ها آرام حرکت مي کنند. به جا به جايي آرام قاره ها، رانش قاره اي مي گويند.

Example sentence(s):
  • زمین ساخت صفحه ای یا تکتونیک صفحه ای نام نظریه ای است که در اواخر دهه 1960 میلادی مطرح شد و مکانیسم (رانش قاره ای) را شرح می داد . - دانشتنی های علمی و درس  
  • حدود چهل میلیون سال پیش بر اثر رانش قاره ای، صفحه شبه قاره ای هند که با سرعت ده سانتیمتر در سال حرکت می کرد با صفحه قاره اوراسیا برخورد کرد و سبب حرکت صعودی تکتونیک نیرومندی شد و «برش هایی» از این شبه قاره همچون کیک چند لایه غول آسایی روی یکدیگر انباشته شدند. - عصر ایران  
  • بين سال هاي 1967 و 1968 فيلم آموزشي رانش قاره اي را مي سازد. - Tehran Internation Animation Festival
