How has earths surface changed since the beginning of earths time?
The continents have moved, Volcanoes and mountains have made hige changes in the earths suface too.
Wegener's theory that the continents slowly moved over earths surface became known as?
Wegener's theory that the continents slowly moved over Earth's surface became known as the theory of continental drift.
Many early mapmakers thought earth's continents had moved based on?
matching coastlines
What is the evidence for earths continents have moved?
Evidence for the movement of Earth's continents includes the matching coastlines, similar rock formations and fossils found on different continents, and the distribution of certain plant and animal species across continents that were once connected. Additionally, the discovery of magnetic stripes on the ocean floor, along with the theory of plate tectonics, further support the idea that Earth's continents have moved over time.
Wegners idea that the continents slowly moved over the earths surface become known as?
Continental drift. It was later refined and is known nowadays as "Plate tectonics."
The hypothesis that continents have moved is called continental?
The hypothesis that continents have moved is called continental drift. This theory suggests that Earth's continents were once joined in a single supercontinent called Pangaea and have since moved apart to their current positions.
Early mapmakers thought continents might have moved based on their observations of?
The fit of the coastlines of different continents, the distribution of similar fossils across continents, and the presence of similar rock formations on different continents led early mapmakers to speculate that continents may have moved over time. This gave rise to the theory of continental drift, which was later developed into the theory of plate tectonics.
How has the earths surface changed since the beginning of earths time?
The Earth's surface has changed significantly over time due to processes such as plate tectonics, erosion, and volcanic activity. Continents have shifted positions, mountains have formed and eroded, and oceans have expanded and contracted. These changes have been ongoing for billions of years and continue to shape the Earth's surface today.
Why was the theory of continental drift not accepted first?
scientists back then didn't want to belive that the earths plates could move on there own
How they measured the continents move?
by how the nature moved
What made continents move?
The continents moved because of the tectonic plates of earth that they rest on.
Why did wegener think the continents moved?
Wegener proposed the theory of continental drift because he noticed how coastlines of continents seemed to fit together like pieces of a puzzle. He also observed similarities in rock formations, fossils, and climate across continents that suggested they were once connected. These observations led him to suggest that the continents had moved over time.
