Continental drift is the movement of the earth's continents across the ocean's bed relative to one another. There is no disadvantage as such of this theory however it has certain weaknesses. One of the weakness is that people could not explain the forces that caused these continents to move such great distances.
What else can I help you with?
What does NOT support the continental drift theory?
they couldn't agree on how it separated or what made it separate.
What are the 3 theories of crustal movement?
Plate Tectonics Continental drift theory 'Raisin' Theory
How are tectonic plate movements similar?
"Plate tectonics" is a fancy word for "Continental Drift". In both theories the continents move.
What is the very slow movement of the continents is called?
Continental Drift
What theories were combined to form the theory of plate tectonics?
The theory of plate tectonics combined the theories of continental drift, which proposed that the continents were once connected and moved over time, and seafloor spreading, which suggested that new oceanic crust is created at mid-ocean ridges. These theories were brought together to create a unified model explaining the motion of Earth's lithosphere.
When you right continental drift does it have to be capitalized?
No, only Continental Drift Theory.
Can a cyclone create continental drift?
No; continental drift is a geological process.
How Have continental drift cause dinosaurs to die?
One of the theories is that numerous violent eruptions spouted hundreds of cubic kilometres of volcanic ash into the sky, blocking the sunlight and causing an ice age. Volcanic eruptions are caused by plate tectonics (not continental drift).
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.
What are the two theories on the continental divide?
The main theory on the continental divide is that they relate to the plate techonics theory of the Earth's crust. The other theory is the continental drift theory where lighter rocks float on heavier crustal material.
What theory replaced Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift?
I think that continetal drift replaced his theory
What resulted in the formation of the super continent?
D) Continental drift, Pangea
