KCSE Geography Paper 1 2007 Section A Question 5.

(a) Name the two types of earth movements that occur within the earth’s crust

Horizontal earth movement/ original/lateral
Vertical earth movement/epeirogenesis

(b) Describe the origin of the continents according to the Theory of continental Drift

There was one land mass called pangea. surrounded by an enormous sea called pantalassa. The Norther hemisphere was called laurasia and southern Godwana land . Due to crustal forces led pangea to break into the present six continents drifting apart

It explains the current position of the continents/ theory of continental drift.
It enables one to understand the creation of structural landforms.
It explains the destruction of structural landforms.
It helps one to understand how the earth maintains balance/isostasy.
It explains the causes of earthquakes/ volcanicity.
