continental drift

Sedimentary facies include river bed , alluvial flat, neritic , river mouth and limnetic, littoral, weathered continental drift bed and flood deposit facies.

沉积相主要有河床相 、 河漫滩相、浅海相 、 河口湾相、湖沼相 、 滨海相和陆相坡积洪积风化红土等7种类型,它们的分布与古河谷的形成演化和海平面的变化密切相关.

The idea that continents broke and drift apart is known as the hypothesis of continental drift.

认为大陆曾经分裂并漂离的想法叫大陆漂移假说.

Why this elaborate analogy with plate tectonics and continental drift?

为什么要煞费苦心地拿板块学说和大陆漂移来进行类比?

This poses another problem, because continental drift moves points used to define the points alltime.

这也产生了另一个问题, 因为大陆漂移的作用,这些测量点会不断的移动.
