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 did Wegener think happened to Pangaea?
That it split apart into the current continents.
What are 3 different types of land forms?
continents, islands, and peninsulas. i think
How do scientists think the continents?
nobody believe in the planets at first
Geologist think Earth's continents began to form?
About 500 million years after Earth formed
Why did wegener think the continents moved?
Wegener proposed the theory of continental drift because he noticed how coastlines of continents seemed to fit together like pieces of a puzzle. He also observed similarities in rock formations, fossils, and climate across continents that suggested they were once connected. These observations led him to suggest that the continents had moved over time.
What makes it possible for the continents to move?
i personally think that when the continents were connected, the ocean flooded over them and took them apart. kinda like weathering . the water moved to them to where they are now. im not sure if thats the correct answer but thats what i believe.
Why did Wegner think continents moved?
Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of continental drift because he observed evidence such as similar geological features, matching rock layers, and identical fossils on continents that are now widely separated. Wegener suggested that these observations could be explained by the continents drifting apart over millions of years.
What did wegener think the force was that was moving the continents apart?
volcanos
What did Wegener think caused the Continents to spread apart?
An earthquake.

What did Wegener think happened to Pangaea?
That it split apart into the current continents.
Why do you think people didnt believ his continental drift theory when wagener first explained it?
because he had no proof to show how the continents moved he only had bits of evidence that the continents might of been together one time but no explanation of how they moved
Why did Alfred wegener think that the continents were once join togrther?
Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of continental drift in the early 20th century. He observed that the continents appeared to fit together like puzzle pieces, particularly along their coastlines. Additionally, he noted similarities in rock types, fossils, and ancient climate patterns across different continents. This led Wegener to suggest that the continents were once joined together in a single supercontinent, which he called Pangaea.
How do scientist think the oceans are likely to change in the future?
Along with ocean's forming is that the land mass was all those continents were connected at one time it was Pangaea.With time the Continents continued to separate.Today we know that the Continents are still moving apart from one another. We know that they move one or 10 centimeters every year. Since it moves some ocean's get bigger, but some Oceans as the Pacific Ocean gets smaller. With that i think all the continents will continue to move apart. They think that the oceans will rise, that can cause flooding and, because of the separating of the landmass there will also be earthquakes.

Do the continents move or stay still?
Continents are moving slightly almost all the time (from the plates moving) they do stay still at some points (how do you think continents formed from the supercontinent pangaea? They moved from multiple different events such as ocean currents and plates moving)
