Which way are the continents moving?
All the continents are moving in different directs but if you go to google images and type 'tectonic plate movement' at least one of those pictures will show what directions different continents are moving in
What was pangaea and what has happened over the many years to the continents?
Pangaea was a supercontinent that existed about 335 million years ago and eventually broke apart to form the continents we have today due to the movement of tectonic plates. Over millions of years, the continents have drifted apart, leading to the formation of new oceans and mountain ranges as a result of plate tectonics.
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.
Wegener's theory that the continents slowly moved over earths surface became known as?
Wegener's theory that the continents slowly moved over Earth's surface became known as the theory of continental drift.
What hypothosis states that continents slowly moved to their present positions on earth?
The hypothesis that states continents slowly moved to their present positions on Earth is known as the theory of plate tectonics. It suggests that Earth's lithosphere is divided into several large, rigid plates that move and interact with each other over time. These movements explain various geological phenomena, such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain formation.
Do scientist think the earth surface is broken into huge plates that fit together but move slowly?
Yes. They think the earth's crust (where we are right now), is broken into huge plates (the continents) that fit together, but move very slowly. Thank you for asking.
What is it called Continents have moved slowly?
plate tectonics

Will the earth get more continents?
No, not currently. The continents won't change for hundreds of millions of years as they move extremely slowly.

How many years has it taken for continents to get to their present positions?
It has taken around 200 million years for continents to get to their present positions due to the process of plate tectonics, where large pieces of the Earth's lithosphere move slowly over the underlying mantle. This movement results in the shifting of continents and the formation of various landforms on Earth.

What is the hypothesis that the continents have slowly moved to their current locations?
its Continental drift
What is continenetal drift?
The hypothesis that the continents have mved slowly to their current locations.
How did we get continents?
Continents formed over millions of years through the process of plate tectonics. The Earth's lithosphere is divided into large plates that move slowly across the mantle, causing continents to drift, collide, and undergo various geological processes that shape their current forms. Mountain-building, volcanic activity, and erosion have all played roles in the shaping of continents over time.
Will there be a Pangaea two?
Pangaea was caused by the moving of the continents and slowly the continents are moving right now so, probably... just think about it...
