Continental Drift happened, when the tectonic plates in the earth shifted, and pushed the lithosphere up, causing our continents to split.

When you right continental drift does it have to be capitalized?
No, only Continental Drift Theory.
Why is the continental drift theory a theory and not a scientific law?
The Continental Drift theory is a theory because there is no evidence to support it. Alfred Wegener developed the Continental Drift theory in the 1800's.
What are the driving forces of continental drift?
The driving Forces of Continental drift are both gravity and the motion of the underground Tectonic Plates.
What is the rate of continental drift?
The continental drift is still taking place.
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.
When does continental drift happen?
Continuous
How fast does continental drift happen?
Continental drift causes continents to move about 7cm per a year.
Does continental drift happen on other planets?
yes
What is the very slow movement of the continents is called?
Continental Drift
What role does continental drift play in erosion?
Because continental drift makes erosion happen due to deposition and affeft the plant life and animal life. =)
Continental drift tagalog kahulugan?
Ang continental drift sa Tagalog ay "pook ng pagdidrift ng kontinente." Ito ang konsepto na ang mga kontinente ay nagsi-slide patungo o palayo sa isa't isa dahil sa paggalaw ng mga tectonic plates sa ilalim ng crust ng daigdig. Ito ang nagdudulot ng pagbabago sa hugis ng mga kontinente sa paglipas ng milyon-milyong taon.
What is conti nentaldrift?
Continental drift is the drift of continents. The earth consists of large plates floating on a ball of molten rock. Such a plate is called a tectonic plate, and since they float, they can float a way. This is called continental drift. Continental drift is one of the main causes of earthquakes. Earthquakes especially happen when two continental plates are shifting next to each other.
Can a cyclone create continental drift?
No; continental drift is a geological process.
When you right continental drift does it have to be capitalized?
No, only Continental Drift Theory.
What does provide evidence for continental drift?
Is there a list? Continental drift is real, so religious fanatics don't provide evidence for continental drift.
Who proved continental drift?
Alfred Wegener Proved The theory of Continental Drift.
What theory replaced Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift?
I think that continetal drift replaced his theory
