continental drift
What the name for earth's continents move slowly over time?
Continental Drift. :)
Do continents move every year?
Yes, but very slowly. They move approximatly 1 inch per year.

Continental Drift
Idea that continents move on Earth's surface?
The idea that continents move slowly across the earth's surface is called the continental drift.
How were the continents created?
The continents were created through a process called plate tectonics. Over millions of years, the Earth's lithosphere (outer layer) is divided into tectonic plates that move slowly across the Earth's surface. These plates collide, separate, and slide past each other, leading to the formation of continents as we know them today.
Will the earth get more continents?
No, not currently. The continents won't change for hundreds of millions of years as they move extremely slowly.

What hypothesis states that continents slowly move to their present position earth?
continental drift
How can magma cause the plates that carry the continents to move apart?
magma is very hot so as it boils it moves the plates of the earth causing the continents to slowly move apart
