they were pulled apart over a period of one or two centuries
What else can I help you with?
What covers the earths surface?
mostly water. There are some continents on there too though i believe.
How do scientists believe that continents move?
Scientists believe that continents move due to the process of plate tectonics. This theory explains that the Earth's outer shell is divided into several plates that float on the semi-fluid mantle below. These plates move over time, causing the continents to drift apart or come together.
Why do scientists believe that the inner core is the source of earths magnetic field?
because it has the hydro electric power to control the earths magnetic field
What do scientists believe about the earth's continents?
Scientists believe that the Earth's continents were once part of a single landmass called Pangaea that later broke apart due to plate tectonics. This movement of tectonic plates is still ongoing, causing the continents to drift slowly over time.
What do scientists believe that is happening to the segments of earths crust?
it has been washed into the oceans as the continental crust has eroded.
Why many scientists believe earths climate may be getting increasingly warmer?
because by the reforstation and the deforstation
Why do scientist believe that there was once just one supercontinent?
Scientists believe in the existence of a supercontinent, known as Pangaea, because of geological evidence such as the matching coastlines of continents, similar rock formations, and fossil evidence of similar species across different continents. This concept is supported by the theory of plate tectonics, which explains how continents have moved and interacted over geological time scales.
What do the 7 continents look like?
the earths continents are the same ..
What do scientists believe will happen with the current position of th continents during and at the end of another 50my?
They will still be together
What do scientists believe will happen with the current position of the continents during and at the end of another 50 million years?
they will all be together
Why was the theory of continental drift not accepted first?
scientists back then didn't want to belive that the earths plates could move on there own
What is the theory in which scientists believe that the continents have moved over time?
The theory that scientists believe explains how the continents have moved over time is called plate tectonics. This theory suggests that the Earth's outer shell, or lithosphere, is divided into large plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath. The motion of these plates is responsible for various geological phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the shifting of continents.
