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.
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.
A short paragraph about continental drift?
First of all continental drift happened after Pangea. Pangea was a time when all of the continents were formed together. Then platetectonics moved which caused earth quakes. The earth quakes made the continents drift, and is called continental drift. To learn more on continental drifts and plate tectonics visit http;//www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0001765.html
What is the very slow movement of the continents is called?
Continental Drift
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.

Can a cyclone create continental drift?
No; continental drift is a geological process.
When you right continental drift does it have to be capitalized?

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
What technology supports continental drift?
Continental drift is explained by the science of plate tectonics.
What resulted in the formation of the super continent?
D) Continental drift, Pangea
What is the volcanic and the drift continental theory?
the Continental Drift Theory is the slow movement of the Earths continents. A.K.A the continents drift
How fast do scientists estimate the rate of continental drift to be?
it moves about a(n) inch a year.
