Why the continent's are drifting?
I believe the oceans current is pushing the continents. That's why they're drifting
What is the theory that all continents are fragments of Pangaea now drifting apart?
diverging boundaries
What forces move the continents?
Tectonic forces.
What 3 factors did wegener use to support his theory of drifting continents?
Geology, Fossils, and Climate
What caused the drifting of the continent?
The causes of the natural disasters and plus the wind could possibly tear the continents and make separate continents. Also there could have been a terrible earthquake that caused the continents to also separate.
Is Africa drifting?
all the continents are drifting
Why do you think the continent stop drifting?
Continents never stopped drifting. Continents are alwaysin motion, even now.

What planet has drifting continents and active volcanoes?
earth
What two continents are drifting apart?
Eurasia and North America
Which continent are still drifting?
All of the continents are still drifting. you see all the continents have been drifting since some planet struck Earth about 3.5 billion yrs ago and our planet was turned into a great ball of lava and magma then the top cooled and the continents and the crust were both formed. ever since the continents have been drifting around the globe. In fact, there was a super continent before Pangaea but before that scientists can't tell if there was another subcontinent, but super continents prove that every continent has drift.
Does scientists think that the drifting of the continents is part of a repeating cycle?
Yes
Is it the fact that the continents are drifting away with constant speed?
You tend to believe that the continents have been drifting away with constant speed. If this presumption is correct, then the continent will come close to each other eventually with time. This is not correct. The speed of the drifting away of the continents has been not the constant one. The moment of the continents is not the random event. They are moving with a purpose as to fallow some law of physics. A simple example will explain the same. if you fill the water in small tank. There is tap at the bottom of the tank. The initial speed of the water that comes out is high. It slows down eventually. The same thing is correct for the drifting of the continents. The initial speed of drifting away was high. The drifting way will halt eventually as the continents get spread all over the surface of the earth. This is the theory. Submitted to the science community.
Who was the German scientist who hypothesized that the continents were slowly drifting around the Earth?
alfred wegener
What is the theory that all continents are fragments of Pangaea now drifting apart?
diverging boundaries
Where continents were formed?
All the continents used to be one large landmass. It was called Pangea. Later on, the landmass started drifting apart little by little. Eventually they became continents.
