When Pangaea was dividing What direction were all the continents moving in?
gggj g
Are that earth continents still moving today?
yes
What direction is South American moving today?
north
Are the continents moving?
The continents are moving when they spread apart
Are the continents still drifting today or did that only happen a long time ago?
They are still moving
Which way do the continents push?
Continents are generally being moved in a direction perpendicular to their position on a side of a mid-ocean rift. For instance, if they're located west of the line of the rift that runs in a north-south direction, the continent will be moving westward.
Are our continents moving back into the form of pangea?
No, scientists have proved that our continents are not moving back into the form of pangea.
What are the evidences of the movents of the continents?
The evidence that the continents are moving today is actually just a theory, but is accepted to be true. This theory is known as Continental Drift and is described as the continents belonging to tectonic plates, which are basically floating on the Earth's surface. Evidence to prove such is that the continents all fit together like a jigsaw puzzle and related or the same plant or animal species are located on separated continents, suggesting that they were all once connected to allow the animals to roam and the plants to spread. If they have moved in the past, they must still be moving today, and there are projected paths the continents are taking.
What is the term used to describe the moving of the continents?
Moving
Which way are the continents moving?
All the continents are moving in different directs but if you go to google images and type 'tectonic plate movement' at least one of those pictures will show what directions different continents are moving in
What was the process called when the continents where separated from the process called Pangaea?
continental drift. they are still moving today, but only at about 2.5 cm a year.
Are the earths continents moving back together?
Not yet--they are still moving apart. Within the next hundred million years or so they should reverse direction and begin moving back together again. Look up "Wilson Cycle" for more information on that.
