Dance of the Continents

This week we learned about the theory of plate tectonics, seafloor spreading, and continental drift and how they shape the world we live in today. This is not the first time I have went over this subject but it is the first time that I learned so much about it.
 I always thought that the plates only moved back and forth, now I know that they do a lot more like creating giant valleys at the bottom of the seafloor. I can see why some these theories are not exactly solid, mainly because it would be so hard for scientists now o go down to where the plates meet and get research because of the technology we do not have yet.
