What theory explained how earth was once a single?
When the continents were said to be one land mass, it is called Pangea by scientists. Continental drift was when the Earth's plates moved and drifted slowly apart.
What is the idea of Hess Wagner and others emphasize the earth is dynamic planet and how is the sea floor spreading different from continental draft?
Continental drift is the hypothesis that states that the continents once formed a single land
The supercontinent that separated into smaller land masses due to continental drift is called?
Pangaea
What is a good sentence for continental drift?
The term 'continental crust' is a compound noun, a word for therelatively thick part of the earth's crust that forms the large landmasses. A noun functions in a sentence as the subject of a sentence or a clause, and as the object of a verb or a preposition. Examples:Bobby has no idea what a continental crust is. I explained to him that continental crust is land (territory).
The theory that the landmasses on the earths crust slowly move away or toward each other?
Plate tectonics is the theory that the landmasses on the earth's surface move. The pieces of the earth's surface sit on liquid rock beneath it, which causes these plates to move away or toward each other.
Theory that the continents were once joined joined as one large single land mass?
The theory of continental drift is about the continents were once joined joined as one large single land mass.
What is the name given to the land in the continental drift theory?
Pangia
What are the different theories of land formation?
continental drift theoryplate tectonics theory
Wegener's theory of what says that land masses move slowly?
Continental drift
What is the hypothesis that proposed that earths continents were once joined in a single land mass?
Continental drift
What theory explained how earth was once a single?
When the continents were said to be one land mass, it is called Pangea by scientists. Continental drift was when the Earth's plates moved and drifted slowly apart.
What was used to dispute continental drift?
Continental drift is a concept relating to the movement of the Earth's continents. The proving of the continental drift theory came from evidence found around the world. Foremost, scientists had discovered that similar plants and animal fossils were found in or around different continents, suggesting that they were once joined. The theory of plate tectonics also supported continental drift. If one were to look at a global map, the complementary arrangements between South America and Africa can be easily seen.
Wegener called the large landmass in his theory of continental drift?
Wegener called the whole land mass of land "Pangaea".not too sure but i think it means entire Earth . They were all at the southern hemisphere and then drifted away and finally came to the place hwere they currently are , this is Wegener's continental drift theory .
The idea that the continents were once one large land mass called Pangaea is part of the theory of continental drift.?
true
Why did Wegener propose Millions of years ago continents were one land mass?
Wegener's theory of continental drift proved the theory of Pangea (all continents as one land mass).
Does continental drift cause new land?
Yes, it can cause new land if an underwater volcano erupts due to Continental Drift, and the lava goes hard.
How does the Petoskey Stone help prove the Theory of Continental drift?
It is another example that helps scientists with their theory that all of Earth's landmasses (land) were/was once connected. WOOOOOOOOOT WOOOOOOOOOOT
