A DYNAMICAL MODEL FOR CONTINENTAL DRIFT AND EXPERIMENTAL SIMULATED RESULTS

In this paper, a simple dynamical model for simulating continental drift is formulated based on the angular momentum exchange between inner solid core and outer liquid core during the early stage of the Earth formation. The drift of ideal continental plate as well as the formation of mountains and islands are simulated by applying the model. The results of experimental simulation can explain to some extent the distribution of earth's surface features.
