We decided to treat the theory of continental drift by proposing an initial dialogue between Wegner and Goldsmith, in which Wegner explains his theory. The central part of the video deals with the theory by exposing the different evidences found by Wegner to support this. Finally we show the reaction of some high school students to whom the theory of continental drift is proposed.
