Yes.

I believe this source because I've done three now, and they have all said they same thing with a logical explanation.


After you have checked your fact against at least three sources, state whether you believe the fact or not, and explain why you believe that.
I do believe the fact because it is scientifically proven and has really explanations why the continents moved and are still moving to this day.
