What else can I help you with?
Why was the hypothesis of continental drift rejected when it was first proposed by Wegener?
He could not explain how or why the continents moved.
The hypothesis that continents have moved is called continental?
The hypothesis that continents have moved is called continental drift. This theory suggests that Earth's continents were once joined in a single supercontinent called Pangaea and have since moved apart to their current positions.
What made continents move?
The continents moved because of the tectonic plates of earth that they rest on.
How they measured the continents move?

Why did wegener think the continents moved?
Wegener proposed the theory of continental drift because he noticed how coastlines of continents seemed to fit together like pieces of a puzzle. He also observed similarities in rock formations, fossils, and climate across continents that suggested they were once connected. These observations led him to suggest that the continents had moved over time.
How State Alfred wegener's hypothesis how moved Earth continents have moved?
easy California
What is it called Continents have moved slowly?
plate tectonics
How continents moved?
convection currents in the eath's mantle
Have the continents alway been in the same place?
No, the continents have not always been in the same place. Due to the process of plate tectonics, the continents have moved over geologic time scales. This movement has resulted in the formation of supercontinents and the current configuration of continents.
How do fossild indicate that the continents have moved with time?
If specific fossils are found in two separated continents, it means that both continents were once joined.
How fast have the continents moved to their current location?
Every year continents move about.. your pointer finger length.
Who believed that planets moved in ellipses?
