What is the mechanism that causes the continents to move called?
It is called the theory of plate tectonics.
How do scientists explain the arrangement of continents today?
By using the theory of plate tectonics and continental drift.
What is the theory that the continents can drift apart from each other and have done so in the past?
Plate tectonics (This is the mechanism), the theory is continental drift.
What is theory called that explains how the continents moved apart?
Continental Drift, unless you are looking for a technical term for something else. Actually, is it theory or is it reality?
Are hurricanes and tornadoes affected by the plate tectonics theory?
Although the positions, shapes, and topographies of continents affect weather events such as hurricanes and tornadoes they are not directly linked with plate tectonics.

Wegeners hypothesis of continental drift was replaced in 1967 by which theory that supported his idea continents move?
plate tectonics

Which theory explains how the continents drifted from one landless to their present locations?
The theory of continental shift is plate tectonics. Pangea was a supercontinent that broke up and drifted into the continents we have today (and are still drifting).
Are hurricanes and tornadoes affected by the plate tectonics theory?
Although the positions, shapes, and topographies of continents affect weather events such as hurricanes and tornadoes they are not directly linked with plate tectonics.
How are tectonic plate movements similar?
"Plate tectonics" is a fancy word for "Continental Drift". In both theories the continents move.
What is The theory of plate tectonics is about the?
the proof is that the continents fit together as a puzzle and they were once joined as a super continent known as Pangaea and because of plate tectonics they drifted away, Go see the Continental drift theory
How is theory of plate tectonics similar to the continental drift?
continental drift is caused by plate tectonics
What is the theory that explains how the continents move called?
The theory is Tectonics.
What was the continental drift theory replaced by in 1967?
The continental drift theory was replaced by the theory of plate tectonics.
