What else can I help you with?
What are two things that support the continental drift theory?
Two things that supports the continental drift theory are; 1. Fossil. 2. Continent Shapes.
What theory replaced Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift?
I think that continetal drift replaced his theory
What was the continental drift theory replaced by in 1967?
The continental drift theory was replaced by the theory of plate tectonics.
Key ideas of the Theory of Continental Drift?
The continental drift theory is the theory that once all of the continents were joined in a super-continent, which scientists call Pangaea. Over a vast period of time, the continents drifted apart to their current locations.
How many original super continents did Wegener's theory of continental drift assume?
Wegener's theory of continental drift assumed the existence of one original supercontinent called Pangaea.
What does the theory of continental drift state explain?
the movement of the continent i :-)
What are two things that support the continental drift theory?
Two things that supports the continental drift theory are; 1. Fossil. 2. Continent Shapes.
Is there another theory that may explain the positions of the continent today?
yes! it is the continental drift theory.
According to the continental drift theory a single huge continent once existed is called what?
The single huge continent that once existed according to the continental drift theory is called Pangaea.
Which theory suggests that the continents were once part of one super-continent?
It is known as the continental drift theory
What did wegener think had happened to his super continent?
Wegener proposed the theory of Pangea (the supercontinent) and continental drift. Continental drift is what split Pangea apart.
What theory replaced Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift?
I think that continetal drift replaced his theory
Why is the continental drift theory a theory and not a scientific law?
The Continental Drift theory is a theory because there is no evidence to support it. Alfred Wegener developed the Continental Drift theory in the 1800's.
What was the continental drift theory replaced by in 1967?
The continental drift theory was replaced by the theory of plate tectonics.

How is continental drift theory different from plate tectonics theory?
They are actually part of the "same" theory. Seafloor spreading and subduction are the driving forces of continental drift. Pangaea was the Earth's only continent 4 billion years ago. Tectonic plates are small plates, while continent drift is several tectonic plates moving as a mass (continent). There are 21 large plates and dozens of smaller ones.
What is the theory that tell there was a super continent that broke into piecesand slowly moved until they reach their present position?
Continental drift theory
