How are the continental drift theory to the present positions of the continents related?
They are spread apart now because before the were one big landmass.
What is it called when continents break apart?
Continental Drift
How do glacial deposits support the idea of continental drift?
With continents in their present positions, the till deposits do indicate erratic glacier motion. When continents are fitted together, they show much more streamlined motion of the glacier from the southern Africa and the Northern Australia outward.
What is associated with the concept of continental drift?
The concept of continental drift includes the concept that the continents were once one and they have drifted apart over years. The concept is backed up by the shapes of continents; and the finding of similar mineral formations on different continents.

Continental Drift has affected the evolution of animals, the worlds geographical positions and the world's climates. There are also many horrendous effects of continental drifts, like Earthquakes and Tsunamis.
