By 1946, however, the battle over continental drift was in full swing.
The transition to "liberalism" takes place in an imperceptible manner, like continental drift, thus hiding its effects from view.

A hypothetic al supercontinent that included all the landmasses of the earth before the Triassic period. when continental drift began pangaea broke up into Laurasia and Gondwanaland.
Geologists will be hammering at outcrops, making geological maps, exploring the sea floor, and scrutinizing moon rocks as long as mountain-making, continental drift, sea floor spreading, earthquakes, and other planetary features remain incompletely explained.
During subduction northward of Neo-Tethys oceanic plate, Ayla-Zhongba micro-continental, the marginal ocean basin and India continental drifted northward all together, the marginal ocean basin was gradually contracted and closed by compressed of India continental.
