What are the names of the seven continents of the Earth?
The seven continents are: Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America.(The alternative Australian continental name Oceania is not widely used in the US, UK, or Australia. There are geographic models that only use 5 or 6 continents.)
Where continents were formed?
Continents were formed through the process of plate tectonics over millions of years. This process involves the movement of Earth's lithospheric plates, which has led to the splitting, merging, and shifting of land masses to create the continents as we know them today.
What is the importance of continents?
They are what we live on and without them I hope you can swim :-)the continents are important because it helps separate the different places for people and geographers
What are five pieces of evidence that the continents used to be all connected?
Fossil evidence of the same species found on multiple continents. Matching geological formations across continents, such as mountain ranges. Similar rock formations and ages of rocks on different continents. Paleoclimatic evidence, like glacial deposits in areas that are now far from the poles. Fit of continental shelf margins, where coastlines align when continents are pieced together.
What is an antipodal arrangement of oceans and continents?
An antipodal arrangement of oceans and continents refers to the opposite points on Earth's surface that are directly across from each other. For example, the Pacific Ocean is antipodal to the Indian Ocean. This concept is used in geography to study the relationships between different regions and their corresponding antipodes.
Why are the continents of the earth is not included in the part of the original crust?
The continents of the Earth are not included in the part of the original crust because they appear differently. These continents used to all be one large continent called Pangaea.
What happened to the earth's continents during the Permian period?
What happened to the earth's continents during Permian Period is Pangea, Pangea is when the used to be one big super continent broke apart created our separate continents today.
What did the separation of Earth's continents affect biological evolution?
I have the same question. It is incredible that some things look similar in different continents. When America was discovered, they had a language, a religion, a political system... they used clothes, fire, weapons. They lived in houses and they had the family... They are plants and animals... They, probably, could write... Is not amazing? It is!
How do continents form?
Earth, without water, is a giant ball of rock. It is full of enormous valleys, mountains, plateaus, etc. However, with water, most of these valleys and trenches are covered in water, being invisible. Continents are the largest exposed area of the Earth. The continents all used to be connected, forming the largest supercontinent ever: Pangea. However, due to continental drift [which is just what it sounds like], Pangea split eventually forming the 7 continents of today.
Whose idea was the continental drift?
I do, looking at the map it does look like a puzzle and all the continents look like they connect or used to connect.
It used to be more like Earth.?
Mars used to be more like Earth.
What is a model of the earth shaped liked a ball or sphere called?
A model of the Earth shaped like a ball or sphere is called a globe. Globes are used to represent the Earth's surface accurately in terms of shape, size, and spatial relationships between continents and oceans.
Who is brandy green?
I am a human being. I live on planet earth. I used to be on tv and have traveled to 40 countries and 6 continents.

Has the earth always looked like it is now?
No, the Earth now does not look the same as before. There used to be one giant continent, not 7 continents. Glaciers came down from Canada to below the Great Lakes--the glacier moving created the basins for each of the Great Lakes. Water covered the middle of the US. Thick forests with high humidity covered most of the land where dinosaurs roamed the US. And this only describes US !Now, scientists say the continents are moving toward each other again, very slowly.
What is an example of geology?
Look outside your window. Do you see mountains? A geologist can tell you how they got there. Do you see nothing but flat ground? or ocean? We can tell you why those conditions exist right there. We can tell you what causes earthquakes or how the Earth came to look as it does...and what it used to look like when Dinosaurs were here (and before!). Geologists study the earth and how it formed. We can tell you what used to be up against North America, or where India started out. We can look at a rock and tell you an entire story... Geology is how the Earth came to be what it is right now, and what it will probably look like in the future.
What evidence that supports the existence of pangaea?
There definitively was a Pangaea. Pangaea implies one continent. Back when the earth was forming, there was no oceans, thus the whole earth would be referred to as Pangaea. Today continents would refer to how much land is above the ocean.
