Wegener's theory of what says that land masses move slowly?
Wegener's theory of continental drift posits that land masses on Earth move slowly over time due to the shifting of tectonic plates. This movement has caused the formation of continents as we know them today.
A moving river of ice that carries rocks and wears away the land is called?
A glacier. Glaciers are large masses of ice that slowly move downhill, eroding the land and carrying debris like rocks with them.
The hypothesis that continenets move slowly is called?
The hypothesis that continents move slowly is called the theory of plate tectonics. This theory proposes that the Earth's outer shell is divided into several plates that move and interact with each other over geological time scales.
What is it called when land masses move on the earth surface?
Land masses move when their underlying plates move simply because they are resting on top of the plates. This is similar to how if someone is resting on a raft the current of the water will carry them along.
You are a large mass of frozen water you can move rocks and boulders you move very slowly but you cause great chamges on earth what are you?
You are a glacier. Glaciers are large masses of ice that slowly move over land, picking up and carrying rocks and boulders as they go. Over time, glaciers can cause significant changes to Earth's landscape through processes like erosion and deposition.

When large land masses move slowly over long periods of time it is referred to as continental?
glaciers
How did Wegener's theory change after his death?
His theory stated that only continents move, we later found that plates are made of ocean pieces too, not just land masses.
When large land masses move slowly over long periods of time it is referred as a continental what?
When large land masses move slowly over long periods of time, it is referred to as continental drift. This movement is driven by the gradual shifting of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface, leading to the changing positions and configurations of continents over millions of years.
What is large land masses that move slowly over long perionds of time reffered to as continental?
I believe you are asking about Continental drift. See related link.
Does the earth's magnetic shield cause the land masses to drift apart?
No. Earth has tectonic plates that slowly move and create earthquakes by rubbing against each other.
A moving river of ice that carries rocks and wears away the land is called?
A glacier. Glaciers are large masses of ice that slowly move downhill, eroding the land and carrying debris like rocks with them.
What are examples of land that was once together but separated as the plstes moved apart?
Continental Drift, the theory that continents move slowly about the earth's surface, changing. In the past the theory has been discussed but not generally accepted.
Do tortoises move?
Tortoises do move on dry land, but very slowly. They also do not move in water.
What is the theory that the landmassaes on the earth's crust slowly move away or get closer to eatch other?
The theory of plate tectonics.
