Based on MS-ESS2-3: Analyze and interpret data on the distribution of fossils and rocks, continental shapes, and seafloor structures to provide evidence of the past plate motions. Background: In 1965 a group of scientists including Sir Edward Bullard published a paper proposing a fit between the continents surrounding the Atlantic Ocean. A similar fit had been proposed by Alfred Wegner in 1912. However, Bullard’s team was able to use a powerful new technology, mainframe computers. The image to the right became known as the Bullard’s Fit. Question: Sketch and label the current location of the continents pictured above today. Include the Atlantic Ocean in your sketch.
