What is the connection between sea levels and the continental drift hypothesis?
The continental drift hypothesis, proposed by Alfred Wegener, is the idea that Earth's continents were once joined in a single landmass and have since drifted apart. This movement of continents can affect sea levels by changing the distribution of land and water on Earth's surface. For example, if continents move closer together, it can create shallow seas and cause sea levels to drop, while if continents move apart, it can lead to the flooding of continental shelves and a rise in sea levels.
What happenes to the particles of a solid as the thermal energy of the solid increases?
they move faster, eventually changing the solid into a liquid
What is it when plates move farther and farther apart?
When plates move farther and farther apart, this is known as seafloor spreading. It occurs at mid-ocean ridges where new oceanic crust is formed as plates diverge. This process is driven by convection currents in the Earth's mantle.
How far apart do carbon dioxide particles move?
If the CO2 is in gas form and not in a container, they can move an unlimited distance apart.
How far apart will the continents drift apart in 200 million years?
Continental drift is influenced by tectonic plate movement. Over 200 million years, the continents may continue to drift apart as tectonic plates move at a rate of a few centimeters per year.Exact distances are difficult to predict due to uncertainties in plate movement and geological processes.
When two continental plates move apart?
earthquake!!!!!!
What happens in a continental plate?
the plates move apart
What is it called when two lithospheric plates move apart?
Continental Plates

Why are continental shelves the areas of the ocean richest in marine life?
There are many conditions that leave continental shelves the richest area in the ocean for marine life. The biggest factor is the shallow depth of the waters where the continental shelves lay. The constant temperature of these shelves also aid in steady marine life.
How fast does two continental crusts move apart from each other?
continental crusts move away from each other by only a few centimeters away from each other every year.
The theory that continents move apart from each other?
Continents are not tecnically moving 'away' from each other, they are just moving. This is due to the sub continent plates and the volcanic activity in the ocean. As new volcanic matter from the earths core comes to the surface it pushes continental plates apart.
What happenes during isokinetic exercise?
Muscles contract and relax to move a joint.
Do plushee pal elves on the shelves move?
the elf dolls move
Which mountain ranges was not the result of continental convergence?
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge was not the result of continental convergence. Instead, it is a divergent boundary where new oceanic crust is forming as tectonic plates move apart.
How is a volcano formed at a continental rift?
A volcano is formed at a continental rift when the Earth's tectonic plates move apart, creating a gap in the Earth's crust. Magma from the mantle rises to the surface through this gap, leading to the formation of a volcano.
What happenes to the temperature as one move from the equator to the poles?
temperatures starts to decrease in degrees and the days get shorter
