Which film was about rourke's drift?
Zulu is the film you are trying to think of.
What is it called when granite makes up the continental crust?
I think granite is continental crust
Who proposed the theory of continental drift when?
Alfred Wegener proposed it. He noticed similarities in fossils in places like Western Africa and Eastern South America. Then, he noted that those two continents could fit together, like puzzle pieces. He proposed that they used to be joined, and although his theory was not taken seriously at first, we now know he was correct.

Australia and Africa will join Asia once again.
What theory replaced Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift?
I think that continetal drift replaced his theory
What do scientist think now might be possible cause of continental drift?
They think a possible cause of continental drift is because of seafloor spreading and the water currents below the continents. +++ You are sort of on the right track, but not near enough to have helped the 9 people Answers had already counted! Sea-floor spreading is part of continental drift, and the currents are not in water, but in the viscous rock Mantle.
What did wegener think had happened to his super continent?
Wegener proposed the theory of Pangea (the supercontinent) and continental drift. Continental drift is what split Pangea apart.
How many years did wegner figure out about continental drift?

What did harry hess think about continental drift?

What do scientist now think might be a possible cause of the of continental drift?
They now think that the continents are moving because of tectonic plates and how they move, or drift, apart.
What did Wegener say about how continents move?
Alfred Wegener also came up with a theory to explain continental drift, although it was in error. His theory of continental drift proposed that centrifugal force moved the heavy continents toward the equator as the Earth spun. He thought that inertia, from centrifugal movement combined with tidal drag on the continents (caused by the gravitational pull of the sun and moon) would account for continental drift.I think the sentence in italic and bold is the answer...~anonme~!danah!
What do scientist now think is causing the continents to move?
They now think that the continents are moving because of tectonic plates and how they move, or drift, apart.
What was Wegener hypothesis of continental drift not widely accepted at the time it was proposed what do scientists now think might be a possible cause of continental drift?
Because he was trying to get everybody to listen to him but they didnt want to you welcome i just answered the question for ya;; lol $hit
