Continental Drift

Did you know...that the North and South American Continents are moving westward in a collision course with Asia? While Africa is currently colliding with Eurasia, as we read? Check this out Continental Drift:

We moving at the hyper speed of (.8 inches) a year! So, in 50 years we will have floated toward Asia 40 inches or just over 3 feet! In the span of centuries (100 years = just over 6 feet!), that is significant. I had no idea that one day, there will be new mountains, oceans, and volcanos form as a result of the collisions!
