What else can I help you with?
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.
When you right continental drift does it have to be capitalized?
No, only Continental Drift Theory.
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.
What was the major problem with wegners theory of continental drift?
The main problem with Wegners theory of continental drift was that at the time he proposed it he had no real proof.
Who found the continental drift?
Alfred Wegner originally thought of the continental drift theory, but he wasn't believed when he presented it. After his death (of course) the theory was proved.
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.
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.
What theory replaced Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift?
I think that continetal drift replaced his theory
What was the continental drift theory replaced by in 1967?
The continental drift theory was replaced by the theory of plate tectonics.
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
When you right continental drift does it have to be capitalized?
No, only Continental Drift Theory.
The theory that continents can drift apart from oneanother?
Continental Drift
The theory that the continents were once joined and then slowly drifted apart is called what?
The theory that the continents were once joined and then slowly drifted apart is called "continental drift." This theory was proposed by Alfred Wegener in the early 20th century and later developed into the theory of plate tectonics.
How is theory of plate tectonics similar to the continental drift?
continental drift is caused by plate tectonics

What was the major problem with wegners theory of continental drift?
The main problem with Wegners theory of continental drift was that at the time he proposed it he had no real proof.
What theory was the forerunner of the theory of plate tectonics?
Continental drift
