It seems obvious to any school child looking at the globe or a map of the world that South America could fit into Africa. This idea was not so obvious to Geologists. It took a revolution in thinking, theory and observations to accept this truth. Next we’ll tell you the story of plate tectonics and how the world under our feet move

Paradigm shift, a topic covered in Thomas Kuhn’s famous book. Plate tectonics is a great example, as the intellectual leaders of the time were adverse to the idea of plate tectonics. Took several generations of scientists to overturn the dogma of the previous era.

http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/geology/techist.htmlTheory was controversial and has only been accepted the last few decades.

Convection cells. Heat associated with molten rock in the mantle causes convection, like movement by boiling water in a pot. Warm molten rock rises and cools as it rises.

Diatoms are made of calcium carbonite. Over geological time they form sediments that then when uplifted can form mountain ranges like the Dolomites in Italy or the Cliffs of Dover in England

Rocks Cycle over long geological periods and transform from sedimentary to Metamorphic to igneous. Once rocks are at the surface they weather and repeat the cycle. All this is coupled with the presence of water on the surface and the fact that Earth has plate tectonics. So the planet is geologically ‘alive’
