What theory combined sea floor spreading and continental drift?
Plate Tectonics
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
What do scientist think caused Continental drift?
Sea-floor spreading
What is the study of plate movement?
Plate tectonics or continental drift. Hello Bobs of the world
What is seaflooring spreading?
It is part of continental drift and plate tectonics.
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 theory combined sea floor spreading and continental drift?
Plate Tectonics
Is it true that plate tectonics combines the concepts of sea-floor spreading and continental drift?
yes its true
How is theory of plate tectonics similar to the continental drift?
continental drift is caused by plate tectonics
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....
What are the similarities between seafloor spreading and continental drift?
Seafloor spreading and continental drift are both processes associated with plate tectonics. They both involve the movement of Earth's lithospheric plates. Seafloor spreading is the process where new oceanic crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges, while continental drift is the theory that continents have moved and are still moving over Earth's surface.
What is another name for the Continental Drift theory?
Another name for the Continental Drift theory is "Plate Tectonics." This theory explains the movement of Earth's lithosphere plates over the asthenosphere.
Continental drift is caused by?
plate tectonics
What is the difference of seafloor spreading and continental drift?
In continental drift it says that they were drifted apart by the spin of the earth and in seafloor spreading the earths crust is drifted apart by the ridges in the mid-ocean.
How does seafloor spreading explain continental drift?
Seafloor spreading is caused by two plates moving apart. This is caused by plate tectonics. Continental drift is also caused by plate tectonics. Therefore, we can conclude that continental drift is related to seafloor spreading. When the plates move, it carries the continents with it, and thus the continents drift away from each other.
What is the 'theory of plate tectonics?
The theory of plate tectonics says that the Earth's lithosphere is divided into "plates" that are determined by overall movement.The theory combines ideas on seafloor spreading and continental drift
