What else can I help you with?
What is the name of the theory that supported the continental drift?
Plate Tectonics.
What evidence supported hypothesis of continental drift?
Tropical fossils in Antarctica.
What does continental drift do to the features of the planet?
Continental drift is one of the many affects of the earth and it can harm the earth because it could crash into other countries
Continental drift is supported by what evidence?
Evidence supporting continental drift includes the distribution of fossils and rock formations that match across continents, the fit of continental coastlines like puzzle pieces, and the alignment of mountain ranges and geological structures across continents. Additionally, the matching of ancient climates and glacial deposits across separate continents supports the theory of continental drift.
All of the following supply he theory of continental drift except what?
The theory of continental drift is primarily supported by evidence such as the fit of continental coastlines, fossil correlations across continents, and geological similarities. However, it is not supported by the idea that continents are fixed in place, as this contradicts the core concept of continental drift, which posits that continents move over geological time. Additionally, the lack of a mechanism for how continents could drift was a significant challenge to the theory before the development of plate tectonics.
Wegeners hypothesis of continental drift was replaced in 1967 by which theory that supported his idea continents move?
plate tectonics
What is the very slow movement of the continents is called?
Continental Drift
What is an example of evidence from landforms that supported Wegener's idea of continental drift?
The same fossils found on different sides of the ocean.
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 fossil fern supported wegener's hypothesis of continental drift?
The presence of the fossil fern Glossopteris supported Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift. Glossopteris fossils were found on multiple continents that are now widely separated, indicating that these landmasses were once connected and later drifted apart.
Which inference is best supported by the moon's apparent absence of continental drift?
The moon's lack of continental drift suggests that it does not have the same geological processes as Earth, such as tectonic plate movement. The absence of continental drift on the moon could be due to its smaller size and lack of a liquid outer core, which are key factors in driving plate tectonics on Earth.
