The formation process Continents and Oceans
Continents and oceans formed through a very long process .
agoshape of continents and oceans is not what it is today . After
going through the processlength is formed as the continent today .
How continents andoceans formed ? There was a German scientist
named AlfredWagener who proposed the theory of continental
formation . According to AlfredWagener , before the days of Carbon
( + - thri hundret million years ago ) , all continentsthat there
is now incorporated into one continent called Pangea .
continentPangea then split into two continents , namely continent
Laurasia ( in partnorth ) and Gondwana continent ( in the south ) .
The process of continental breakup of Pangea 'soccurred about one
hundred thirty five million years ago . Furthermore, the western
part of the continent Laurasia moveto the north away from the
continent of Gondwana which eventually formed the continents
continentNorth America . Meanwhile, in the southern continent of
Gondwana split into severalcontinent , is as follows .1 ) The
western part continued to move westward into the South American
continent .2 ) The eastern part of moving to the east into the
continent of Africa .3 ) a smaller portion in the east continues to
move toward the northeast andinto India .
4 ) One again split into two parts , namely the eastern
continually on the move tothe northeast , and the fractional part
of the west continues to move toward the south .Subsequent
developments , North America joined together withSouth America ,
Eurasia into Europe and from the continent of Asia . The most
southern partare moving south into the Antarctic continent and
parts of southernmoving to the northeast into the continent of
Australia .Wegener's theory of continental drift theory is also
called . This theory is based onthe following facts .a.

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
Geography is the study of the location as well as the
similarities and differences ( variation ) over the spatial
physical and human phenomena on the surface of the earth . The word
derives from the Greek , namely Geo ( " Earth " ) and graphein ( "
to write " , or " explain " ) .
Geography is also the name of historic titles on the subject,
notably the Geographia by Klaudios Ptolemy ( second century ) .
Geography is more than cartography , the study of the map . It
not only what and where on the face of the earth , but also why
there and not in other places , sometimes defined as " location in
space . " Studies this , whether caused by nature or humans . Also
studies the consequences of those differences .

1 . The process of formation of the Continent
Mainland continent is so vast central part of the continent is
not influenced by the sea breeze at all . On earth there are 5
continents ( five continents ) that inhabited a human , that is the
continent of Asia , Australia , Africa , Europe , America .
Actually there is still one more continent in the southern
hemisphere ice area materialized . Namely the Antarctic continent .
However, the continent can not be occupied by humans .
