Moving continents is driven by plate tectonics, which involve the slow movement of tectonic plates. This movement is caused by forces generated by heat from the Earth's interior and gravitational forces. The exact force required to move continents varies depending on the specific tectonic processes involved.

How long does it take plate tectonic to move?
Plate tectonics move about 2 centimeters every year. This is a very small amount of movement. Predicted in 2,000,000 years there will me another major difference in the formation of the continents
What would happen over the next 100 years if the continents still continue to move?
If you were on the same spot of crust after one hundred years, you would find that you had moved around 6 feet relative to the GPS position you were on a hundred years previous. The crust will still be subducting, colliding, and pulling apart as it has for billions of years.
Due to continental drift the North American and European continents are drifting apart at an average speed of about 3 cm per year At this speed how long will it take for them to drift apart m?
At a rate of 3 cm per year, it would take approximately 33 million years for the North American and European continents to drift apart by 1,000 km.
Why did earths continents shift?
They didn't. If you take out all the water from the seas and ocean, you would see the continents are still connected by land (save for the faults). Unless the tectonic plates were reduced to the incredibly small sizes therefore allowing them to shift like you are misled to believe, there is no chance of the continents shifting as they are all part of the ground, not floating.
How does the shape and size of the continents today help support the Theory of Continental Drift?
If you take a map and cut out all the Continent, you can see that they fit together almost perfectly, like a giant puzzle. This idea supports the fact that all the continents were connected in one large landmass.
How much force does it take to move 1500 lbs in a wheeled container?
A lot.
How much force does it take to move 1kg?
To move a 1kg object, you need to apply a force equal to its mass multiplied by its acceleration. The force required to move a 1kg object will depend on the acceleration you want to achieve. This relationship is described by Newton's second law of motion, which states that force is equal to mass times acceleration (F=ma).
How many newtons of force does it take to move a car?
The force required to move a car depends on various factors such as the weight of the car, road conditions, and incline. On average, it can take anywhere from a few hundred to a couple thousand newtons of force to move a car.
How much is 50 pounds of a rock it in water how much force does it take a person to move it?
The buoyant force of water will partially counteract the weight of the rock, making it feel lighter. The force required to move the rock will be less than 50 pounds, as a portion of its weight is offset by the buoyant force. The exact force needed will depend on the shape and density of the rock, and the friction between the rock and the surface it is resting on.
Why did it take so long for for the continents to move to where they are today?
it took so long because, the earths mantel is solid
How does mass affect distance when the force applied is the same?
well think of it like having a small object with little mass then a large object with a lot of mass. Hitting the big object takes more force to make it move and the little object does not take nearly as much force to make it move. i hope this helped!
Why does it take more force to move a basketball than a feather?
becausevthe basletball is heavier.
Which would take less force to move a heavy object or a light weight object?
When you include the effects of friction, it takes less force to move a light-weight object. If you can get the objects into a frictionless environment, then any force, no matter how small, can move any object, no matter how heavy.
How much power would it take to move a chair 5 meters in 15 seconds using a force of 51 newtons?
The power required to move the chair can be calculated using the formula Power = force x distance ÷ time. Plugging in the values: P = 51 N x 5 m ÷ 15 s = 17 Watts. Therefore, it would take approximately 17 Watts of power to move the chair 5 meters in 15 seconds using a force of 51 Newtons.
How much force does it take to break a board?
force is not a think it is only in star wars
How much wind force will it take to destroy a house?
No
Does seafloor spreading make continents move apart?
yes, but very slowly. it would take thousands of years for any real distance to be created
