Wegener's theory that the continents slowly moved over earths surface became known as?
pangaea
What is the theory called for the continents joined together?
That theory would probably be Pangaea. The theory for the movement of continents is called the Continental Drift Theory.
What is the theory that proposes a possible explanation of why and how continents move?
the theory of plate tectonics
What is the theory called the explains how the continents moved apart?
The continental drift theory, or the plate tectonic theory
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.
What is the hypothisis that the continents slowly move across earth's surface?
The theory of plate tectonics.
The theory of how earth's continents move over its surface its known as?
Plate tectonics.
Wegener's theory that the continents slowly moved over earths surface became known as?
pangaea
Is continental drift and plate techtonics the same?
no because continental drift means the hypothesis that the continents slowly move across earth's surface and plate techtonics means the theory that peices of earth's lithosphere are in constant motion.
What was Dan Mckenzie's theory on continental drift?
a. 1968 b. McKenzie's theory is that the lithosphere is divided into a few dozen plates that move across the earth's surface relative to each other c. Evidence: . He wondered since he was young what happened to the the Continents and how they fit together like a puzzle.
What is the continentals theory about how it moves?
Wegner's theory, people didn't believe him at first then people figured it out from his research. things thts prove it are rock fossils were found on several continents and plant and animal fossils were found on other continent that couldn't go across the atlantic or pacific ocean and the continents fit together like a puzzle and also, climate is the same on continents that are across the ocean and even the world.
What is the theory called for the continents joined together?

What theory of the formation and movement of the plates that cover the earths surface?
the movement and formation of the plates or continents is caused by conduction under the crust.
What is the theory of formation and movement of the plates that cover the earths surface?
the movement and formation of the plates or continents is caused by conduction under the crust.
What is the theory of the formation and movement of the plates that cover the earth's surface?

How Wegener try to prove the theory of continental drift?
Wegner proved his theory because the fauna and flora found across all continents was similar,the jigsaw fit of Africa and America
What did Harry do?
Harry Hess suggested that continents do not move across the ocean crust. He made the theory of continental drift famous and somewhat accepted.
