What do scientist think now might be possible cause of continental drift?

They think a possible cause of continental drift is because of seafloor spreading and the water currents below the continents. +++ You are sort of on the right track, but not near enough to have helped the 9 people Answers had already counted! Sea-floor spreading is part of continental drift, and the currents are not in water, but in the viscous rock Mantle.


Does continental drift show that the ocean floor is always stable?

Well, it depends. If you mean from the iceage movie, then no, that movie was ustable because it was innacurate and very fake. But if you mean by earth, I think that you are trying to get answers for your homework, yes? Well, the answer is mabye

the mechanism for continental drift was not well understood at the time, and there was no evidence to support the idea of continents moving. It wasn't until the theory of plate tectonics was developed that the idea of continental drift became widely accepted.
