Continental drift never stopped and continues today. It just happens so slowly, we don't notice it. An example of one thing that will happen is because the pacific plate is rotating CCW, in one million years, Los Angeles will be out in the Pacific Ocean west of San Francisco.

When you right continental drift does it have to be capitalized?
No, only Continental Drift Theory.
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.
What are the driving forces of continental drift?
The driving Forces of Continental drift are both gravity and the motion of the underground Tectonic Plates.
What is the rate of continental drift?
The continental drift is still taking place.
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.
When does continental drift happen?
Continuous
How fast does continental drift happen?
Continental drift causes continents to move about 7cm per a year.
Does continental drift happen on other planets?
yes
What do scientist think will happen to Africa and Asia and Australia if continental drift continues?
Australia and Africa will join Asia once again.
What is the very slow movement of the continents is called?
Continental Drift
What role does continental drift play in erosion?
Because continental drift makes erosion happen due to deposition and affeft the plant life and animal life. =)
What happens to earth during the fall?
the earth's surface as a continental drift
What happens to the Earth's surface during Fall?
the earth's surface as a continental drift
What is conti nentaldrift?
Continental drift is the drift of continents. The earth consists of large plates floating on a ball of molten rock. Such a plate is called a tectonic plate, and since they float, they can float a way. This is called continental drift. Continental drift is one of the main causes of earthquakes. Earthquakes especially happen when two continental plates are shifting next to each other.
Why do scientists keep discussing the theory of plate tectonics?
Probably because it is the reason for continental drift and it can help them figure out exactly how massive the spread of Pangaea was and if it will ever happen again.
Can a cyclone create continental drift?
No; continental drift is a geological process.
When you right continental drift does it have to be capitalized?
No, only Continental Drift Theory.
