Plate Activity causes it to move.
What else can I help you with?
Can a pole shift cause the continents to move?
A pole shift refers to a change in the Earth's rotational axis, which can affect the distribution of land and sea but does not cause the continents to physically move. Plate tectonics are responsible for the movement of continents over long geological timescales.
How can magma cause the plates that carry the continents to move apart?
magma is very hot so as it boils it moves the plates of the earth causing the continents to slowly move apart
What is the name of the theory that explains how forces within the earth can cause ocean floor to spread and continents to move?
Theory of plate tectonics explains how forces deep within earth can cause ocean floors to spread and continents to move
Does convection currents in the Mantle make continents move?
Yes, convection currents in the mantle can contribute to the movement of continents through the process of plate tectonics. These currents cause the Earth's lithosphere (which includes the continents) to move as they carry heat and material to the surface, leading to the drifting of continents over geologic time scales.
What is the name of the theory that explains how forces deep within earth can cause floors to spread and continents to move?
Theory of plate tectonics explains how forces deep within earth can cause ocean floors to spread and continents to move
What makes the continent and the ocean floor unstable?
The continents and ocean floor are unstable because the plates of the lithosphere move. When the plate move, they cause the continents and ocean floor to move.
How a convection currents within the earth cause the crust and the continents to move e?
It creates thermal energy and that causes the tectonic plates to move due to high levels of heat.
What are the parts of the plate that move when plates move?
continents
Why do you have seven continents?
cause as people looked the continents grow
Force that cause continents to drift?
plate tectonics The friction between the convective masses in the mantle and the crust overlaying it causes the crust to move.
What is the name of the theory that explains how forces deep within earth can cause ocean floors to spread and continent to move?
Theory of plate tectonics explains how forces deep within earth can cause ocean floors to spread and continents to move
How rifting and accretion change the shapes of continents?
they can increase or move the size of the continents
