Who is the scientist who first proposed the thermal convection in the mantle causes continental drift?
Auther Holmes is the Scientist who first proposed that theral convection in the mantle causes continental drift.
What is the main reaction to shift in the earth's crust?
Continental drift or gravity pulling
What is the relationship between plate tectonics and continental drift?
Plate tectonics is the scientific theory that explains how the Earth's outer shell is divided into several large, rigid plates that move and interact with each other. Continental drift is the idea that continents have moved and shifted positions over time. The relationship between plate tectonics and continental drift is that plate tectonics provides the mechanism for how continents drift and move around the Earth's surface. The movement of the plates causes the continents to shift and change positions, supporting the concept of continental drift.
How Does Seafloor Spreading Effect Continental Drift?
the primary force that causes the seaffloor to spread and contienents to drift
What thermal do scientist first propose to mantle causes continental drift?
they what?
Who was the first scientist who proposed that that thermal convection causes continental drift?
Arthur Holmes
What is conti nentaldrift?
Continental drift is the drift of continents. The earth consists of large plates floating on a ball of molten rock. Such a plate is called a tectonic plate, and since they float, they can float a way. This is called continental drift. Continental drift is one of the main causes of earthquakes. Earthquakes especially happen when two continental plates are shifting next to each other.
What is the very slow movement of the continents is called?
Continental Drift
Who is the scientist who first proposed that thermal convection in the mantle causes continental drift?
Alfred Wegener, a German meteorologist and geophysicist, proposed the theory of continental drift in 1912. He suggested that thermal convection currents in the mantle cause the movement of continents over time.
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.
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.
