What is the theory that explains the slow movement of continents on the earth's surface?
The theory of the movement of peices of Earth's surface is that they break apart and they move everywhere around through the suface -& and the layers of the earth. this is what causes it being cold because all these peices move around and then the warm will break away and it will open up abd it will be cold.

How much of the Earths surface is covered by the continents?
Approximately 30% of the Earth's surface is covered by land, the remaining 70% of the surface is covered by water.
How is convection responsible for the arrangement of the continents on earths surface?
Convection in the Earth's mantle drives the movement of tectonic plates, which are responsible for the arrangement of continents on Earth's surface. As the mantle moves due to convection currents, it causes tectonic plates to collide, separate, or slide past each other, leading to the formation of continents as we see them today.
How has earths surface changed since the beginning of earths time?
