You tend to believe that the continents have been drifting away with constant speed. If this presumption is correct, then the continent will come close to each other eventually with time. This is not correct. The speed of the drifting away of the continents has been not the constant one. The moment of the continents is not the random event. They are moving with a purpose as to fallow some law of physics. A simple example will explain the same. if you fill the water in small tank. There is tap at the bottom of the tank. The initial speed of the water that comes out is high. It slows down eventually. The same thing is correct for the drifting of the continents. The initial speed of drifting away was high. The drifting way will halt eventually as the continents get spread all over the surface of the earth. This is the theory. Submitted to the science community.
What else can I help you with?
A position vs time graph for an object moving away from the reference point at a constant speed?
from the point at rest the line will be curved and going diagonally upwards visual: http://www.gravitywarpdrive.com/General_Relativity_Images/Falling_Ball_Graph_Distance.gif
An example of zero acceleration would be what?
If you are moving at a speed of ceratin speed and there is no force trying to slow you down, and there is no force trying to speed you up. Then there is zero acceleration. An example would be : an object in out in space, if you throw a object away from you the object will float away, since there is no force working on the object after you throw it the object is moving away in a locked speed from you, but have zero acceleration because there is no force affecting the object
Does angular speed depend on distance?
when something moves with constant angular speed (w), as in a rotating disk, the speed (v) as you move away from the center depends on distance (r), but the angular speed does not. Mathematically, v = wr.
Can an accelerating automobile be overtaken by an automobile moving with constant velocity?
From the structure of your question, we can tell that when you say "accelerating", you mean "speeding up", although that's only one kind of acceleration. Assuming that's what you mean, then the answer is: Of course! Haven't you ever started to move away from a traffic light after it turned green, and been overtaken and passed by a car that came up behind you, never slowed down, and sailed right past you at a constant speed through the intersection as you were picking up speed ?

Assume that the moon travel at constant speed in a circular orbit around the earth is the moon's velocity is constant?
Yes, since the moon is in a circular orbit around the Earth, its velocity is constant but its direction is changing continuously as it moves around the Earth. This constant velocity is necessary to maintain the circular motion without drifting away or falling into the Earth.
What keeps the moon in motion?
Newton's first law of motion. If there is no net force on an object, then its velocity is constant. The object is either at rest (if its velocity is equal to zero), or it moves with constant speed in a single direction. The moon moves in a single direction about the earth because it is kept from drifting away by earth's gravity.

If north America move 1.25 per year how far will it be away from ridge in middle of Atlantic ocean in 200 million years?
You can calculate this. The total of both continents will make it 2.5 centimeter. You will get pretty long distance. You can ask the distance after 20 billion years also. It is easy to calculate the answer using the calculator. But it is not practical answer. This way, the continents will override each other on the opposite side of the earth. This can not happen. The speed of drifting of the continents is not constant. it was high at the beginning of the fracture of the continents. It is getting slower and slower. The drifting will eventually stop, once the mass is distributed evenly across the earth. It will indefinitely long time for this to happen. This is subjected to the momentum of the earth due to the rotation of the earth.
Is the speed of light faster further away from its source or closer?
The speed of light is constant, regardless of how far it is from its source.

What happened when pangaea broke apart?
When Pangaea broke apart, the continents began drifting away from each other due to tectonic plate movements. This led to the formation of separate landmasses that eventually evolved into the continents we see today. The movement of the continents also had a significant impact on Earth's climate, ocean currents, and biodiversity.
Are Europe and north America drifting closer together or farther apart?
Europe and North America are drifting farther apart at a rate of a few centimeters per year due to the movement of tectonic plates. This movement results from the spreading of the Atlantic Ocean, causing the two continents to move away from each other over time.
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.
