the movement of the continent i :-)
What else can I help you with?
What does the theory of continental drift state explain?
the movement of the continent i :-)
Is there another theory that may explain the positions of the continent today?
yes! it is the continental drift theory.
Why was the continental drift rejected by scientists?
yes becouse wenger is not geologist and he could not explain the how continental drift theory
What was the problem with the Continental drift theory?
The fundamental problem with Wegner's theory was that he couldn't explain a mechanism for the movement of plates.
Did scientist reject the theory of continental drift because the theory failed to explain why rocks on different continents looked the same?
yes

yes
Scientific theory that attempts to explain continental drift?
The theory of plate tectonics is used to explain continental drift. It suggests that the Earth's outer shell is divided into several plates that move and interact with each other, leading to the movement of continents over time. This theory helps explain phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and mountain formation.
What was wegner not able to solve in order to explain how his theory worked?
wegner was not able to prove how the continents move so his theory of continental drift got rejected.
What did the theory of continental drift not explain?
The theory of continental drift, proposed by Alfred Wegener, did not adequately explain the mechanism behind the movement of continents. It lacked a convincing process to account for how continents could shift across the Earth's surface, as Wegener suggested they moved through oceanic crust. Additionally, the theory could not explain the geological features and phenomena associated with plate tectonics, such as earthquakes and volcanic activity, which were later clarified by the theory of plate tectonics.
Why is the continental drift theory a theory and not a scientific law?
The Continental Drift theory is a theory because there is no evidence to support it. Alfred Wegener developed the Continental Drift theory in the 1800's.
What was the continental drift theory replaced by in 1967?
The continental drift theory was replaced by the theory of plate tectonics.
What is seafloor spreading that ''helps'' the theory of continental drift?
How seafloor spreading helps to explain the theory of continental drift is that wegener couldn't explain why and waht force caused the continents to move and so seafloor spreading helps to explain the theory of continental drift because it shows the force that made the continents move and that was te only thing that wagener needed to prove his theory of continental drift............thanks
