A world map or globe would be the best tool for seeing the sizes of Earth's continents. Both provide a visual representation of the size and shape of continents in relation to one another.

Which map would be useful for comparing the sizes of continents?

A Mercator projection map would be useful for comparing the sizes of continents as it preserves the shapes of continents but distorts their sizes, making it easier to visually compare.


Where would you be most likely to find granite in earths mantle or earths continents?

you will find it in earths mantle because it is a kind of an igneous rock


Why did earths continents shift?

They didn't. If you take out all the water from the seas and ocean, you would see the continents are still connected by land (save for the faults). Unless the tectonic plates were reduced to the incredibly small sizes therefore allowing them to shift like you are misled to believe, there is no chance of the continents shifting as they are all part of the ground, not floating.


Which would be more helpful for studying the exact shape of continents a globe or a map?

A globe because the projection on a map is always distorted.


Which continents would you find a tortiose?

You would find a tortoise on all continents except Antarctica.


What would happen to the earths continents if mountain were not being continuously formed?

Without continuous mountain formation, erosion would gradually wear down existing mountains to create flatter landscapes. Eventually, the continents would become more level over time, with mountains turning into hills and plains.


What would happen if there were no continents?

There would be no land


Why would the present shape of the continents not fit perfectly into the shape of Pangaea and what things might have changed the continents' shapes?

They would fit roughly together but not perfectly due to years and years of erosion. As evident as Africa and So. America are that they were once joined. Erosion does not work. Even with that they will not fit. Try it with cut outs. But shrink the size of the earths sphere to about 1/2 its size today and they fit perfect.


Edges of some continents look as if they would?

Do the oceans contain enough salt to cover all of the continents with a layer of fifty feet thick?

No, the oceans do not contain enough salt to cover all of the continents with a layer 50 feet thick. The average salt content in the oceans is about 3.5%, and there is not enough salt to form a layer that thick on the continents.


What would the sizes of the planets be in order?

Mercury (smallest), Mars, Venus, Earth, Neptune, Uranus, Saturn and Jupiter (largest). Note that although Neptune has more mass than Uranus, it is smaller in size. Mercury's volume = 0.056 x Earths Mars' volume = 0.151 x Earths Venus' volume = 0.857 x Earths (Earth) volume = 1 x Earths Neptune's volume = 57.74 x Earths Uranus' volume = 63.086 x Earths Saturn's volume = 763.59 x Earths Jupiter's volume = 1321.3 x Earths
