What else can I help you with?
Do some scientists think the continents once formed a single landmass?
Yes, the theory of continental drift suggests that the Earth's continents were once joined together in a single landmass called Pangaea. This theory is supported by evidence such as the matching shapes of continents, distribution of fossils, and geological similarities across continents.
What convinced scientists that the the continents were slowly moving?
Scientists were convinced that continents were slowly moving due to evidence such as fit of the continents' coastlines, matching geological features across continents, and the discovery of mid-ocean ridges and seafloor spreading. This evidence supported the theory of plate tectonics, which explains how continents move over time.
What do scientists call the land mass that all the continents used to be in?
Scientists refer to the land mass that all the continents used to be in as Pangaea. It is believed that Pangaea existed about 300 million years ago and eventually broke apart to form the continents as we know them today.
What did scientists call the land mass that all the continents used to be in?
Scientists called the now separated land mass "Pangaea."
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.
How long ago do scientists think that the continents began to separate?
200 million years
When scientists mapped the edges of the continents they found more evidence that the continents fit together?
True

When the continents called when they were called?
Pangea. Some scientists say the continents became how they are now because of the Flood.
Is Australia a county?
That question has been debated ever since we named the continents. But i think the scientists settled on both, Australia is both a continent and a country.
Does scientists think that the drifting of the continents is part of a repeating cycle?
Yes, scientists support the theory of plate tectonics, which explains how the continents have drifted and continue to do so. The movement of the Earth's plates is driven by processes such as seafloor spreading and subduction, which are part of a cycle that has occurred over millions of years. The movement of continents is not exactly repetitive but rather a continuous process that shapes the Earth's surface.
What assumption do scientists make when they state that if continents separate the land animals on the continents are separated from each other?
i dont
Is it true or false when scientists mapped the edges of the continents they found more evidence that the continents fit together?

Was all the continents combined together at one time?
Most scientists agree that at one time the continents merged, forming the super continent Pangea.
