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.

When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as?
When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as "Infrared Radiation."
What do scientist believe will occur in the next 250 million years with the movement of continents?
The continents will go back to their original position.
What are 3 pieces of evidence for continental drift?
1. Fossils of the same stuff are found on continents with an ocean to separate them. 2. The continents fit together (back in like 1900 or something a kid looked at the coastlines of south america and africa and asked the teacher 'did they ever fit together.' The teacher called him a stupid idiot and failed him for geography. True story) 3. Continental drift or something... look it up in your textbook
What is the movement of the earths surface to the atmosphere and back again?
it is water cycle
How can the presence of seven continents on the earth surface be explained?
There are "7 continents" due to a combination of how plate tectonics processes have fractured the light granitic rocks that make up the continents and then smashed them back together over time, along with human perceptions (e.g. Europe and Asia are considered by human perception to be separate continents but they are a single continent of Eurasia in terms of plate tectonics processes). At various times in the past there have been as few as one continent and at other times there have been more than the current number.
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.
Do the continents move?
yes they do why then do earthquackes happen the continents on which we are living are moving continuously moving from millions of years.For Example- there was a news a few months back that Australia has moved 2cm from its earlier position since 1976. so, till now in the present the continents are moving.
Why is the earths lithosphere considered a giant jigsaw puzzle?
Evolution has proved that - at one time - all the continents and islands were fused into one giant super-continent (called Pangaea - pronounced 'pan-gee-ah'). If you could reverse the continental drift so that all the continents etc fitted back together - they would look like a giant jigsaw-puzzle.
Why dont the continents fit together perfectly?
Erosion. Back when Pangaea existed, all of the continents fit perfectly together. As they hit each other, they broke off pieces of land and eventually broke apart.

What is the name of the process of recycling materials that make up the earths crust and mantle?
Subduction is the process of materials moving back into the earth at the boundary of tectonic plates.
When was it noticed that continents fit together?
Well, many many years ago all of the continents were fitted togother in a supercontinent called Pangaea. But, according to plate tectonics, they spread the sea floor apart which, in then, separted in what we have now the 7 continents. In the future it probably will come back together again.

it is water cycle
Why the earth's continents would not fit back together perfectly?
Because sine the time of separation which happened millions of years ago, the edges have since become severly eroded
Why was the theory of continental drift not accepted first?
scientists back then didn't want to belive that the earths plates could move on there own
