What else can I help you with?
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 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.
A short paragraph about continental drift?
First of all continental drift happened after Pangea. Pangea was a time when all of the continents were formed together. Then platetectonics moved which caused earth quakes. The earth quakes made the continents drift, and is called continental drift. To learn more on continental drifts and plate tectonics visit http;//www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0001765.html
What natural forces affected the changes to Pangaea?
Continental Drift
What is the very slow movement of the continents is called?
Continental Drift
How is continental drift theory different from plate tectonics theory?
They are actually part of the "same" theory. Seafloor spreading and subduction are the driving forces of continental drift. Pangaea was the Earth's only continent 4 billion years ago. Tectonic plates are small plates, while continent drift is several tectonic plates moving as a mass (continent). There are 21 large plates and dozens of smaller ones.
When you right continental drift does it have to be capitalized?
No, only Continental Drift Theory.
Can a cyclone create continental drift?
No; continental drift is a geological process.
What does provide evidence for continental drift?
Is there a list? Continental drift is real, so religious fanatics don't provide evidence for continental drift.
What theory replaced Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift?
I think that continetal drift replaced his theory
What resulted in the formation of the super continent?
D) Continental drift, Pangea
What is the volcanic and the drift continental theory?
the Continental Drift Theory is the slow movement of the Earths continents. A.K.A the continents drift
Which inference is best supported by the moon's apparent absence of continental drift?
The moon's lack of continental drift suggests that it does not have the same geological processes as Earth, such as tectonic plate movement. The absence of continental drift on the moon could be due to its smaller size and lack of a liquid outer core, which are key factors in driving plate tectonics on Earth.
Did the plate tectonics theory derive from the evolution of the continental drift theory?
Yes, the plate tectonics theory developed from the earlier continental drift theory. The continental drift theory, proposed by Alfred Wegener in the early 20th century, suggested that continents were once joined together and drifted apart. Plate tectonics, developed in the mid-20th century, expanded on this by incorporating the movement of Earth's lithosphere plates and explaining the processes driving continental drift.
Was Laurasia formed by continental drift?
Yes Both Laurasia and Gondwana were formed by continental drift
