Hay fever is a seasonal allergy to pollens; the term “hay fever”, however, is a less than

adequate description since an attack of this allergy does not incur fever and since such an attack
can be brought on by source other than hay-producing grasses. Hay fever is generally caused by
air-borne pollens, particularly ragweed pollen. The amount of pollen in the air is largely
dependent on geographical location, weather, and season. In the eastern section of the United
States, for example, there are generally three periods when pollen from various sources can cause
intense hay fever suffering: in the springtime months of March and April when pollen from trees
is prevalent, in the summer months of June and July when grass pollen fills the air, and at the end
of August when ragweed pollen is at its most concentrated levels.

 According to the theory of continental drift, the continents are not fixed in position but
instead move slowly across the surface of the earth, constantly changing in position relative to
one another. This theory was proposed in the eighteenth century when mapmakers noticed how
closely the continents of the earth fit together when they were matched up. It was suggested then
that the present day continents had once been one large continent that had broken up into pieces
which drifted apart.

Today the modern theory of plate tectonics has developed from the theory of continental
drift. The theory of plate tectonics suggest that the crust of the earth is divided into six large, and
many small, tectonic plates that drift on the lava that composes the inner core of the earth. These
plates consist of ocean floor and continents that quite probably began breaking up and moving
relative to one another more than 200 million years ago.
