Why is the continental drift theory a theory and not a scientific law?
The Continental Drift theory is a theory because there is no evidence to support it. Alfred Wegener developed the Continental Drift theory in the 1800's.
When you right continental drift does it have to be capitalized?
No, only Continental Drift Theory.
How did continental drift happen?
Continental Drift happened, when the tectonic plates in the earth shifted, and pushed the lithosphere up, causing our continents to split.
What is the key to understanding continental drift?
sea floor spreading
In the 1930s the theory of continental drift was formed?
The theory of continental drift did originate in the 1930s. Continental drift asserts that the continents were once a single landmass called Pangaea that drifted apart over time.
What theories were combined to form the theory of plate tectonics?
the continental drift and the ocean-floor spreading
Did seafloor spreading prove the theory of continental drift?
Seafloor spreading helped prove the theory of continental drift. Pangea theory also helped.
What is seafloor spreading that ''helps'' the theory of continental drift?
How seafloor spreading helps to explain the theory of continental drift is that wegener couldn't explain why and waht force caused the continents to move and so seafloor spreading helps to explain the theory of continental drift because it shows the force that made the continents move and that was te only thing that wagener needed to prove his theory of continental drift............thanks
What is another name for the Continental Drift theory?
the theory of sea floor spreading
How did Alfred Wegeners theory support the theory of seafloor spreading?
He supported the Seafloor Spreading Theory by first discovering the Continental Drift Theory.
Does the theory of plate tectonics contain both seafloor spreading and continental drift?
Yes. The theory of plate tectonics is very broad, and it covers seafloor spreading, continental drift, plate boundaries and so on.
What does seafloor spreading have to do with the theory of continental drift?
Seafloor Spreading helped move the Continents to their current location.
Describe how seafloor spreading helps to explain the continental drift theory?
pie
What are the similarities of the continental drift theory sea floor spreading and the plate tectonics theory?
the similarities of this 3 theory is,,,, they are all theory....
Who proposed the theory of seafloor spreading based on maps of the ocean floor?
The Seafloor Spreading Theory was proposed by Harry Hess.
Who had the sea floor spreading theory?
Harry Hess came up with the theory of seafloor spreading . Alfred Wegener came up with the idea of continental drift NOT sea-floor spreading.
