Continental drift and plate tectonics are often used interchangeably but they are not the same. Here we discuss the differences between the two ideas. ⚠ Spoiler - one is a hypothesis and the other is a theory! In this video, you'll learn how continental drift hypothesis transformed into the theory of plate tectonics.

Why major in geology? Geology is for anyone that loves to solve problems. If you’re curious about the world around you and why it is the way it is then geology may be for you! Geology and Earth Science is a blend of MANY other sciences that come together to give you a clearer picture of the Earth as a whole. Majoring in geology or earth science is an opportunity to focus on a wide range of things from the evolution of life to natural hazards, sustainable natural resources management, understanding climate change, resource and planetary exploration. A major in geology (or a minor) can prepare you for careers in environmental engineering, land use planning, law, public service, teaching, graduate studies in Earth and environmental, and planetary sciences, and other professions in which an understanding of the Earth and a background in science are important.
