What convinced scientists that the the continents were slowly moving?
how an i suposed to know in a 3rd grader
Are the continents moving?
The continents are moving when they spread apart
Which way are the continents moving?
All the continents are moving in different directs but if you go to google images and type 'tectonic plate movement' at least one of those pictures will show what directions different continents are moving in
Why does the shape of the earth's oceans and continents continue to change?
Due to plate tectonics still moving, it causes the Earth's oceans and continents to continue moving.
Why do the continents keep on moving?
Due to the theory of Continental drift where the plates that the continents are on are moved by currents.

Were in the us is there evidence that continents moving relative to one another?
The San Andreas Fault in California is a well-known location in the U.S. where evidence of continental movement can be observed. Along this fault line, the Pacific Plate is moving northwestward in relation to the North American Plate, causing earthquakes and other geological phenomena.
What proof is it that the continents actually move?
Measurable evidence that continents are moving relative to each other are the west coast of California and Hawaii.
What evidence is there to prove that continents are still moving and colliding?
The fact that there are subduction zones where continental plates meet !
Are the continents moving?
The continents are moving when they spread apart
Which scientist's work provided evidence of moving continents making the continental drift theory accepted by the scientific community?
Henry Hess

What are the evidences of the movents of the continents?
The evidence that the continents are moving today is actually just a theory, but is accepted to be true. This theory is known as Continental Drift and is described as the continents belonging to tectonic plates, which are basically floating on the Earth's surface. Evidence to prove such is that the continents all fit together like a jigsaw puzzle and related or the same plant or animal species are located on separated continents, suggesting that they were all once connected to allow the animals to roam and the plants to spread. If they have moved in the past, they must still be moving today, and there are projected paths the continents are taking.
Are our continents moving back into the form of pangea?
No, the continents are not moving back into the form of Pangea. The movement of the Earth's tectonic plates is complex and constantly changing. While some continents are moving closer together due to plate tectonics, the formation of a new supercontinent similar to Pangea is not predicted in the near future.
What is the term used to describe the moving of the continents?
Moving
Which way are the continents moving?
All the continents are moving in different directs but if you go to google images and type 'tectonic plate movement' at least one of those pictures will show what directions different continents are moving in
Will there be a Pangaea two?
Pangaea was caused by the moving of the continents and slowly the continents are moving right now so, probably... just think about it...
