6 de enero: ¿Por qué se mueven los continentes?

The video discusses the theory of continental drift proposed by Benner, highlighting the evidence he presented, such as fossils found across continents, and the initial lack of a mechanism to explain it. It traces the historical context of the idea, noting early suspicions about the fit of Africa and South America's coastlines. The video then transitions to the modern understanding of plate tectonics, which explains the movement of Earth's lithosphere and the formation of geological features. It concludes with a reflection on the ever-changing nature of Earth's surface and the philosophical implications of change.
