All of the continents are still drifting. you see all the continents have been drifting since some planet struck Earth about 3.5 billion yrs ago and our planet was turned into a great ball of lava and magma then the top cooled and the continents and the crust were both formed. ever since the continents have been drifting around the globe. In fact, there was a super continent before Pangaea but before that scientists can't tell if there was another subcontinent, but super continents prove that every continent has drift.
What else can I help you with?
Is the continent of Australia drifting north or south?
The continent of Australia is moving north about 7 centimeters per year due to tectonic plate movement.
Is Australia the world's smallest or biggest continent?
Even after the break-up of the Soviet Union, Russia is still the largest country by far.
What are the stages in a continental drift?
Well, Continental Rifting is the process in which a continent is literally pulled apart. First, sediment collects on the floor of the rift valley. Oceanic crust made of gabbro and basalt is formed, which is dense and causes the valley to sink. Eventually, ocean water flows into the valley. There you have it. Hope this Helped.
What continent is Africa is on?
None. Europe is a continent. You can't have a continent in a continent.
Which is the drier continent- Australia or Antarctica?
Antarctica is the driest continent on Earth, as it is a polar desert with very little precipitation. Australia, while known for its arid regions, still receives more rainfall in comparison to Antarctica.
Why continent's are drifting?
I believe the oceans current is pushing the continents. That's why they're drifting
Why do you think the continent stop drifting?
Continents never stopped drifting. Continents are alwaysin motion, even now.
What is drifting ice in antarctica?
Icebergs (drifting ice) in Antarctica have broken off from the glaciers and ice shelves that stretch out over the sea at the continent's coastline.
What is the relationship between convection current and continent drifting?
Convection currents in the Earth's mantle drive the movement of tectonic plates, which can result in continent drifting. As the currents move material within the mantle, they push and pull on the overlying tectonic plates, causing them to shift and move. This movement can lead to the breakup of supercontinents, the formation of new ocean basins, and the drifting of continents over millions of years.
Are the continents still drifting today or did that only happen a long time ago?
They are still moving
Is the continent of Australia drifting north or south?
The continent of Australia is moving north about 7 centimeters per year due to tectonic plate movement.
What Asian Country appears to have been a separate continent once?
The Asian Country that appears to have been a separate continent once was India. It was attached to the continent of Antarctica until 200 million years ago. It and Madagascar started drifting northward.
What Forces drive the drifting of the continent?
The main force driving the drifting of continents is plate tectonics. This is caused by the movement of the Earth's lithosphere plates over the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them. The plates can converge, diverge, or slide past each other, leading to the drifting of continents over long periods of time.
What direction does the left side continent side move?
The left side of a continent tends to move westward due to the process of plate tectonics. This movement is driven by the drifting of tectonic plates carrying the continents on their surface.
How do you spell drifting?

Is drifting an adjective?
