What else can I help you with?
What theory replaced Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift?
I think that continetal drift replaced his theory
How do rock types show evidence of continental drift?
Rock types can provide evidence of continental drift by matching on opposite sides of current oceans, showing that the continents were once connected. For example, the Appalachian Mountains in North America align with the Caledonian Mountains in Scotland, indicating they were once part of the same mountain range before continental drift occurred. Additionally, similar fossils and rock formations found on different continents support the theory of continental drift.
All of the following supply he theory of continental drift except what?
The theory of continental drift is primarily supported by evidence such as the fit of continental coastlines, fossil correlations across continents, and geological similarities. However, it is not supported by the idea that continents are fixed in place, as this contradicts the core concept of continental drift, which posits that continents move over geological time. Additionally, the lack of a mechanism for how continents could drift was a significant challenge to the theory before the development of plate tectonics.
What was the continental drift theory replaced by in 1967?
The continental drift theory was replaced by the theory of plate tectonics.
How many times has continental drift occurred?
Continental drift has occurred multiple times throughout geologic history, with supercontinents forming and breaking apart. The most recent supercontinent was Pangaea, which began to break apart around 175 million years ago, leading to the current distribution of continents.
What things have proved continental drift has occurred?
cracks and earthquakes
Are mountains there to be conquered or admired?
Mountains are not there for any reason, except because of continental drift.
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.
What theory replaced Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift?
I think that continetal drift replaced his theory
What types of information show that continental drift has occurred?
Maybe the depth of oceans

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
