the movement of the continent i :-)
How can continental drift be used in a sentence?
The idea of continental drift has been subsumed by the theory of plate tectonics.
What theory makes the occurrence of Pangaea possible?
The theory of continental drift.
What theory replaced Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift?
I think that continetal drift replaced his theory
Why is the continental drift theory a theory and not a scientific law?

What ideas from the theory of plate tectonics add to the theory of continental drift?
The theory of plate tectonics builds on the idea of continental drift by explaining how the Earth's lithosphere is broken into plates that move over the asthenosphere. Plate tectonics also accounts for the movement of not just continents, but also oceanic crust, creating a more comprehensive understanding of Earth's geological processes. Additionally, plate tectonics provides a mechanism for explaining the formation of mountain ranges, earthquakes, and volcanic activity at plate boundaries.
