In the past I have done two types: four 12 hour days, four days off, four 12 hour nights four days off rotating, with approx 23 personal days. We also did four 12 hour days, six days off, four 12 hour nights, six days off rotating, in the summer we would have sixteen days off, but no personal days; these were paid back by working the two middle days of a six off and the first days off after the four days directly after the 16 off were worked as nights, but both these days only happened once after your sixteen off. There were five shift teams working at the factory but only two were ever in, one day shift one night shift.
As a footnote, these shifts are well paid and you do get a lot of time off, but sometimes that time can be Monday to Saturday and you could end up working through the weekend. Also it plays havoc with your health. I worked these shifts for almost 14 years, my social life went t1ts up, and in my last few years I suffered from IBS, because of the irregular shift patterns.
Do you know what it's like when you half read a question when you've had a few beers and answer it totally wrong?
Sorry mate!

If you are talking about physical evidence, the mid-Atlantic ridge is a good example.
If you are talking historically, then as already suggested, a map of the world ought to show you how the continents were once arranged.
The generally accepted belief is that there was once a"super-continent" that broke apart.The plates continue to move at an average of about 3Cm's per year according to various tests(and my memory, oh-oh).
I don't think there's a particular pattern overall, each plate moves independently in a direction, colliding and separating with other plates.The only pattern is for individual plates, not all as a whole.

If you look at a map or a globe you can see where Africa still fits into South America.
Oh! I'm sorry I'm a plum! I mean continental drift- what a plonker! I didn't read it properly.
Still, theres an interesting fact for you anyway. Sorry.

Here we work 4 on, 4 off. That's two 12 hours dayshifts, two 12 hour nightshifts. So it would go, Mon-Tues day, Wed-Thurs night. Off four Tues-Wed day, Thur- Fri night. Off four Wed-Thur day, Fri-Sat night. You end up working one month with weekends off, one on weekends. And when we take vacation days, you use four, and get 12 days off. Another place I worked did 4 on, 4 off, but it was 4 dayshifts, 4 off, then 4 nightshifts.
