If Earths plates and continents are constantly moving what effect does this have on Earths oceans?
it creates waves sometomes tsunami's
Are the continents moving?
The continents are moving when they spread apart
Continents are moving across the Earths Surface under continental drift One continent is moving significantly more slowly than the others Which one is it?
Continents are moving across the Earth's Surface under the Continental drift One continent is moving significantly more slowly than the others because of plate tectonics.
What would happen if the continents were moving?
The continents are moving. The tectonic plates that make up the continents are always in constant, but miniscule, motion. Often this movement results in earth quakes along the tectonic fault lines due to collisions between them.
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.
Are the earths countries moving further apart?
No the continents are.

What causes the Atlantic ocean to widen one to three inche per year?
the techtonic plates are shifting (the continents are moving away from each other)

Why are tsunamis and earthquakes not considered weather?
because the definitiong of weather is activity in our atmosphere. Tsunamis and earthquakes are caused by earths tectonic plates shifting and moving not atmospheric activity.
Why is the Atlantic expanding?
The Earths plates are constantly moving, and changing causing different landmasses and occurrences to happen such as earthquakes. Our earth is always changing in size. Straight, short Answer: It is because of the movement of the Earths plates constantly changing and shifting.
How does earths cycles and change effect us?
bc we are moving at all times and we are always in a diffrent spot
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.
Are our continents moving back into the form of pangea?
No, the continents are not moving back into the form of Pangea. The movement of the Earth's tectonic plates is complex and constantly changing. While some continents are moving closer together due to plate tectonics, the formation of a new supercontinent similar to Pangea is not predicted in the near future.
What is the term used to describe the moving of the continents?
Moving
