Take North America for instance. It was basically closer to the Equator then ever! Now it's drifted Northern and climates got colder.

Anu ang Continental Drift?
Continental Drift is a speculation made in 1596 by Abraham Ortelius. He stated that continents drift across the ocean bed.
How does continental drift support plate tectonics?
continental drift and plate tectonics are two side of a coin. As the continents are interlinked with the plates; so as the plate moved due to conviction current the continents also tends to move causing continental drift. Moment of plates due to conviction current or due to the adjacent plate is called plate tectonics.
How do the caledonian and Appalachian mountains support the continental drift hypothesis?
They are lined up if you put them together.
What additional evidence would help prove the theory of continental drift?
Look up Alfred Wengener, he was the first to descover this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!To prove the idea of Alfred L. Wegener HERE:Wegener used to fit of the continents, the distribution of fossils, the similar sequence of rocks at numerous locations, ancient climates, and the movement of the polar regions.I'm sure with my answer! obejerojamjam@yahoo.com :))
Pangaea was an ancient supercontinent made up of?
It was made up of our land masses today but continental drift came and moved the continents
How continental drift cause climates to change?
Take North America for instance. It was basically closer to the Equator then ever! Now it's drifted Northern and climates got colder.
What evidence was used to support continental drift?
same rock samples, change in weather, past climates
If continents moved toward the equator because of continental drift what happened to their climates?
If continents moved toward the equator because of continental drift their temperatures drop
How does seafloor spearing and continental drift link together?
Seafloor-spreading is the cause of continental drift
How did continental drift cause climate change?
Take North America for instance. It was basically closer to the Equator then ever! Now it's drifted Northern and climates got colder.
How Continental drift changes earth?
continental drift can change there earth in many different ways like land forms and climates for example the Hawaiian islands were originally and under water volcano but over the years it has traveled under the crust making new land.
What does the continental drift cause?
it is caused by conviction
Was used to by Wegner to establish continental drift?
He hypothesized that the continents plowed through the ocean floor pushed by the spin of the Earth. Wegener used continental drift to explain evidence of changing climates.
Does continental drift cause new land?
Yes, it can cause new land if an underwater volcano erupts due to Continental Drift, and the lava goes hard.
If contients moved toward the equator because of the continental drift what happened to their climates?
It becomes more tropical.
What is the very slow movement of the continents is called?
Continental Drift
What 5 pieces of evidence continental drift?
1) Continental Puzzle 2) Matching Fossils 3) Rock Types and Structures 4) Ancient Climates
