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.

faults (when plates rub against eachother)
rifts valleys (when continental plates pull apart)
earthquakes (when plates move)
Over time, an organism adapted to a particular climate may find it difficult to survive in the climate change associated with continental drift.

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.
What has the author D H Tarling written?
D. H. Tarling has written: 'Continental drift and biological evolution' -- subject(s): Continental drift, Evolution 'Palaeomagnetism' -- subject(s): Paleomagnetism 'Continental drift' -- subject(s): Continental drift 'Palaeomagnetism & Diagenesis in Sediments'
What effect on the evolution of mammals was caused when the continents was drifted apart?
Continental Drift has affected the evolution of animals, the worlds geographical positions and the world's climates. There are also many horrendous effects of continental drifts, like Earthquakes and Tsunamis.
What effect did continental drift have on pangaea?
Check
What effect did the continental drift have on Pangaea?
Continental drift split Pangaea into smaller parts, eventually forming the globe as it is today.
How did the theory of continental drift related to the theory of evolution?
it doesnt relate in any way. Theory of Evolution started way before dinosaurs roamed our beloved planet. Theory of Continental Drift happened shortly after when Dino's were wiped out.
How Does Seafloor Spreading Effect Continental Drift?
the primary force that causes the seaffloor to spread and contienents to drift
What are 2 ways that continental drift might affect evolution?
Climate Change, law of unifromitariusm
What is the very slow movement of the continents is called?
Continental Drift
What effect do radioactive processes have on continental drift and plate tectonics?
none
A random change in a population's allele frequency?
Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms. By mutation, genetic drift, gene flow and natural selection.
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.
