English term

continental drift

GBK English to Polish Science Geology
Definition from CENGAGE Learning:
The hypothesis, proposed by Alfred Wegener, that today's continents broke off from a single supercontinent and then plowed through the ocean floors into their present positions. This explanation of the shapes and locations of Earth's current continents evolved into the theory of plate tectonics.
Example sentences:
Wegener's Continental Drift theory was not readily accepted by the science community of his day. It was difficult to conceive of large continents plowing through the sea floor to move to new locations. (kids.earth.nasa.gov)
The fossil record supports and gives credence to the theories of continental drift and plate tectonics. (enchantedlearning.com)
According to the continental drift theory, the supercontinent Pangaea began to break up about 225-200 million years ago, eventually fragmenting into the continents as we know them today. (USGS)

Wyjaśnienie Napisałem tutaj, bo ten genialny system ograniczania możliwości tylko dla specjalistów w danej dziedzinie uniemożliwia mi nie tylko udzielenie ewentualnej własnej odpowiedzi, ale nawet poparcie Twojej (którą uważam za dobrą, z dopiskiem na temat dryfu).
ECOlibre Jan 16, 2009:
dryf Oczywiście, że może być, ale "wędrówka" jest bardziej "po polskiemu" :-)

Note from asker:
The Blessings Since saying Hallel is a mitzvah, it is preceded by a blessing praising G‑d for having “sanctified us and commanded us to read the Hallel.” It is followed by a blessing that ends with the words, “Blessed are you G‑d, King, who is extolled with praises.”
