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

pomeranje kontinenata
Definition:
Pomeranje kontinenata je hipoteza o slobodnom kretanju kontinenata po površini Zemlje, pri čemu oni menjaju svoje međusobne pozicije. Hipotezu je postavio nemački meteorolog i geofizičar Alfred Vegener. U svojoj knjizi „Poreklo kontinenata i okeana“ Vegener je izračunao da su pre oko 200 miliona godina kontinenti bili prvobitno spojeni, formirajući na taj način superkontinent. Ovaj kontinent nazvao je Pangea, što znači „cela Zemlja“.

Example sentence(s):
  • Sjaj Sunca se tokom više milijardi godina povećavao. Takođe, tokom više milijardi godina pomeranje kontinenata, vulkanska aktivnost i promene reljefa i okeana su učinili ceo problem ledenih doba složenijim. - Vodič kroz ledena doba - za astronome  
  • Alfred Vegener je 1910. izradio teoriju pomeranja kontinenata. Kontinenti su obrazovali jedan kontinent, Pangeu, zatim se razdvojili i došli u sadašnji položaj, menjajući tako i svoj položaj prema polovima Zemlje i samim tim i klimatske zone. Za to vreme osa rotacije Zemlje nije bitno menjala svoj položaj u odnosu na ravan ekliptike po kojoj se Zemlja kreće, kružeći oko svoje ose i oko Sunca. - Univerzitetska biblioteka Beograd  
  • Вегенер се у свом предавању у Инсбруку позабавио и тим питањем, заступајући мишљење да је померање континената имало за последицу и померање полова. - „Kroz vasionu i vekove“ M. Milankovi
