In the 1930s the theory of continental drift was formed?
The theory of continental drift did originate in the 1930s. Continental drift asserts that the continents were once a single landmass called Pangaea that drifted apart over time.
What theory supports the idea of the continental drift?
the breaking down of pangea
What Theory of of continental drift state?
Continents can drift apart from one another and have done so in the past.
What did wegener think had happened to his super continent?
Wegener proposed the theory of Pangea (the supercontinent) and continental drift. Continental drift is what split Pangea apart.
Is continental drift and Pangaea the same thing that happend in or on the continents?
Continental drift is the movement of the Earth's continents over time, while Pangaea was the supercontinent that existed about 335 million years ago before breaking apart into the continents we see today. So, they are related but not the same thing. Continental drift refers to the ongoing movement of continents, while Pangaea is a specific event in Earth's history.
What is the process of continents breaking apart?
Continental breakup typically starts with the thinning of the lithosphere under a continent, leading to the formation of rift zones. Magma rises to the surface, creating new crust and causing the continent to split into separate landmasses. Over time, these landmasses continue to drift apart due to the movement of tectonic plates.
What doe the theory of the continental drift state?
Continents can drift apart from one another and have done so in the past.
