What planet has drifting continents and active volcanoes?
earth
Which continent are still drifting?
All of the continents are still drifting. you see all the continents have been drifting since some planet struck Earth about 3.5 billion yrs ago and our planet was turned into a great ball of lava and magma then the top cooled and the continents and the crust were both formed. ever since the continents have been drifting around the globe. In fact, there was a super continent before Pangaea but before that scientists can't tell if there was another subcontinent, but super continents prove that every continent has drift.
Does scientists think that the drifting of the continents is part of a repeating cycle?
Yes
How did fossils provide evidence for continents drifts?
because if the same fossils were found in the same spot but on two different continents and if you put the continents together like a puzzle and the fossils were in the same spot, it would mean the continents drifted apart.
What drives the process of plates tectonics the currently accepted explanation for the movement of drifting continents?
Unequal heat distribution.
What is the theory that all continents are fragments of Pangaea now drifting apart?
diverging boundaries
Where continents were formed?
Continents were formed through the process of plate tectonics over millions of years. This process involves the movement of Earth's lithospheric plates, which has led to the splitting, merging, and shifting of land masses to create the continents as we know them today.
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.
Is Africa drifting?
all the continents are drifting
Why do you think the continent stop drifting?
Continents never stopped drifting. Continents are alwaysin motion, even now.
Why is the Alantic Ocean expanding?
because the continents are drifting further apart due to th oceantal crust separating under water
Have the continents on opposite sides of the Atlantic ocean generally been drifting apart?
Yes. The continents have been drifting around since Earth first got her oceans, or before. At one time, there were a group of continents clustered near what is now Antarctica . . . the entire remainder of Earth's surface was covered by oceans of water. They eventually drifted apart. The current arrangement of continents occurred fairly recently in Earth's 4.5 billion year age.
What is the name of the theory on the continents drifting apart?
Pangea is the original super continent that broke up into the continents we know today by a process known as 'Continental Drift' proposed by a scientist named Wegener
Does the result of the continents drifting apart have something to do with the theory of continental drift?
yes. because of the sea-floor spreading making Africa and South America drift apart even more
Why continent's are drifting?
I believe the oceans current is pushing the continents. That's why they're drifting
