What year did Alfred Wegener come up with Continental Drift?
Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of Continental Drift in 1912.
How did continental drift affect temperature and precipitation patterns around the planet?
Continental drift affect temperature and precipitation patterns around the planet by changing ocean currents
What is a reason that explains whytheir is no continental drift on the moon?
The moon has no continental drift because the temperature on the moon is very cold and so prevents the heating of the mantle. Also, what there is of the heat escapes through the craters as these craters reach the core.
Who first proposed the idea of contintental drift?
The idea of continental drift was first proposed by Alfred Wegener in 1912. Wegener's theory suggested that the continents were once joined together in a single landmass called Pangaea and had drifted apart over time.
What was not used in support of the continental drift hypothesis?
One key piece of evidence that was not initially used in support of the continental drift hypothesis was a mechanism explaining how continents could move. It wasn't until the discovery of plate tectonics and the development of the theory of seafloor spreading that a mechanism was found to explain how continents drift.
What is conti nentaldrift?
Continental drift is the drift of continents. The earth consists of large plates floating on a ball of molten rock. Such a plate is called a tectonic plate, and since they float, they can float a way. This is called continental drift. Continental drift is one of the main causes of earthquakes. Earthquakes especially happen when two continental plates are shifting next to each other.
What is the very slow movement of the continents is called?
Continental Drift
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
How fast do scientists estimate the rate of continental drift to be?
it moves about a(n) inch a year.
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
Will Lucas Black be in Fast Six?
No cause the events of Fast Six will happen after the events of Fast Five and but before the events of Tokyo Drift
Was Laurasia formed by continental drift?
Yes Both Laurasia and Gondwana were formed by continental drift
How is theory of plate tectonics similar to the continental drift?
continental drift is caused by plate tectonics
