Mr. Parr - Continental Drift Song lyrics
[Mr. Parr - Continental Drift Song lyrics]
The Earth's divided up in fact
In four distinct parts
The crust, mantle, outer and inner core
And from the crust to the
Core the temperatures will rise
They differ in pressure, composition
If we could push, push, push, rewind
Go, go, back in time
When Pangaea was together-aligned
Break, break, break apart, Wegener knew that
It's an idea he had
Do you remember how he came up with this?
Landforms matched up-a puzzlе they fit
And he found fossils on differеnt shores
He surely thought they can't swim that far
And he found change in climate
Yeah right under ice
Tropical plants can't grow there why?
A crazy theory, until we, used sonar
And found sea-floor spreading
Hess used the mid-ocean ridge
To prove Wegener right
Magma rises pushing the sides out
Oh, from the mantle depths
To the surface split's
Both sides of ridge breaks out and it goes
If we could push, push, push, rewind
Go, go, back in time
When Pangaea was together-aligned
Break, break, break apart, Wegener knew that
It's an idea he had
Do you remember how he came up with this?
Landforms matched up-a puzzle they fit
And he found fossils on different shores
He surely thought they can't swim that far
And he found change in climate
Yeah right under ice
Tropical plants can't grow there why?
A crazy theory, until we, used sonar
And found sea-floor spreading
They're hanging by a thread
They're tearing at the seams
Changing now from what they used to be
At different boundaries
Making the crust break up, up, up, up
Push, push, push, rewind
Go, go, back in time
When Pangaea was together-aligned
Break, break, break apart, Wegener knew that
It's an idea he had
Do you remember how he came up with this?
Landforms matched up-a puzzle they fit
And he found fossils on different shores
He surely thought they can't swim that far
And he found change in climate
Yeah right under ice
Tropical plants can't grow there why?
A crazy theory, until we, used sonar
And found sea-floor spreading
In four distinct parts
The crust, mantle, outer and inner core
And from the crust to the
Core the temperatures will rise
