What was pangaea and what has happened over the many years to the continents?
Pangea was a super continent, where all our continents were joined together and then were slowly broken apart and made our continents we have today.
Idea that continents move slowly across earth's surface is called what?
The idea that continents move slowly across the earth's surface is called the continental drift.
What is the process in which continents slowly move called?
This is tectonic plate movement.
What evidence convinced many geologists that the continents were slowly moving?
the Continental drift....
The hypothesis that continents have slowly moved to there current locations is?
Continental Drift. :D

Do scientist think the earth surface is broken into huge plates that fit together but move slowly?
Yes. They think the earth's crust (where we are right now), is broken into huge plates (the continents) that fit together, but move very slowly. Thank you for asking.
What is the breakup of the continents?
The continents are typically divided into seven main landmasses: Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Europe, North America, Australia, and South America. Each continent has its own unique geography, culture, and biodiversity.
Idea that continents move slowly across earth's surface is called what?
The idea that continents move slowly across the earth's surface is called the continental drift.
What is it called Continents have moved slowly?
plate tectonics
Will the earth get more continents?
No, not currently. The continents won't change for hundreds of millions of years as they move extremely slowly.
What is the theory that continents have moved slowly over time to their current locations?
The theory that continents have moved slowly over time to their current locations is called continental drift. This theory was proposed by Alfred Wegener in the early 20th century and later developed into the theory of plate tectonics, which explains the movement of Earth's lithosphere through the interaction of tectonic plates.
What is the process in which continents slowly move called?
This is tectonic plate movement.
What is continenetal drift?
The hypothesis that the continents have mved slowly to their current locations.
What is the hypothesis that the continents have slowly moved to their current locations?
its Continental drift
What hypothesis that the continents have moved slowly to their current location?

Will there be a Pangaea two?
Pangaea was caused by the moving of the continents and slowly the continents are moving right now so, probably... just think about it...
