Continental Drift, unless you are looking for a technical term for something else. Actually, is it theory or is it reality?

What is the theory called the explains how the continents moved apart?
The continental drift theory, or the plate tectonic theory
What theory that continents move apart form each other?
The action of continents drifting apart from each other is called, "Continental Drift". It is no longer a theory, as it has been proven to be so. Of course, as certain continents move apart from each other, they also are moving closer to other continents.
The theory that continents drift apart in the past and continue to do so today is called?
Pangaea
What is the theory of Pangea?
The theory of Pangaea was that the continents were once together and then were drifted apart due to plate tectonics.
What is the theory for the cause of continents moving apart from each other?
Continental drift.
What is the theory called the explains how the continents moved apart?
The continental drift theory, or the plate tectonic theory
What is the theory of pangae?
The theory of Pangaea is the theory that the Earth was once covered by one giant continent or land mass. The land mass supposedly started to break apart when the dinosaurs went extinct. The theory explains why different continents look like they are part of a jigsaw puzzle, and how the same type of fossil was found on to different continents. The theory also explains why our continents today are slowly drifting apart.

The theory that continents can drift apart from oneanother?
Continental Drift
What is the theory that all the continents were all one land mass at one point in history?
The theory that explains the existence of a supercontinent called Pangaea is known as continental drift. According to this theory, proposed by Alfred Wegener in the early 20th century, the continents were once joined together in a single landmass and have since drifted apart over millions of years. Geological and fossil evidence, such as matching coastlines and similar plant and animal species on separate continents, support this theory.

Wegner's theory of continental drift?
His theory is that all the continents were connected and made a super continent called Pangaea then eventually the moving of tectonic plates over the millions of years caused the continents moves apart.
What is the theory for the cause of continents moving apart from each other?
Continental drift.
What is the theory that all continents are fragments of Pangaea now drifting apart?
diverging boundaries
Theory that the continents are slowly moving apart from one another?
Tectonic plate movement.
What its the theory that the continents we're once joined and slowly drifted apart?
Continental Drift.
