When continents break apart into separate land masses it is called?
When continents break apart into separate land masses, it is called continental drift. This process is driven by the movement of tectonic plates in the Earth's lithosphere.
If continents moved toward the equator because of continental drift what happened to their climates?
As continents move toward the equator due to continental drift, their climates become warmer and wetter. This is because they are positioned closer to the sun, leading to more direct sunlight and higher temperatures. Additionally, their proximity to ocean currents can also influence their climate.
What is the theory of pangaea called?
The theory of Pangaea is called the continental drift theory. It proposes that Earth's continents were once joined together in a single large landmass that later broke apart and drifted into their current positions.
What are two landmasses that were once connected but have separated?
One example is the landmasses that used to be part of Pangaea, which eventually split into the continents we have today. Another example is the landmasses of North America and Europe, which were once connected by the supercontinent Laurasia but separated due to continental drift.
Is it true or false that continental drift continents were joined together to form a large land mass?
True, the theory of continental drift proposes that continents were once joined together in a single supercontinent called Pangaea. Over millions of years, the continents have moved apart to their current positions.
What is the very slow movement of the continents is called?
Continental Drift
When you right continental drift does it have to be capitalized?
No, only Continental Drift Theory.
Can a cyclone create continental drift?
No; continental drift is a geological process.
What does provide evidence for continental drift?
Is there a list? Continental drift is real, so religious fanatics don't provide evidence for continental drift.
2 examples of continental drift?

What theory replaced Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift?

What resulted in the formation of the super continent?
D) Continental drift, Pangea
What is the volcanic and the drift continental theory?
the Continental Drift Theory is the slow movement of the Earths continents. A.K.A the continents drift
Was Laurasia formed by continental drift?
Yes Both Laurasia and Gondwana were formed by continental drift
How is theory of plate tectonics similar to the continental drift?
continental drift is caused by plate tectonics
What are hawaiian volcanoes a good example of?
Volcanos over a hot spot. Also continental (or plate) drift.
What is an example of a technology that helps support the idea of continental drift leading to a change in scientific knowledge?
