Im afraid not, what we can not see is how long they stretch under water.

Why is it necessary for cells to be different shapes and sizes?
If they were the same shapes and sizes then life would be exceedingly boring.
Can you describe 3 clues that support the idea of continental drift?
shapes of the continents fit together. fossils of same dinosaur are found in different continents. same plant fossils in different continents.
What does the theory of plate tectonics and continental drift say about the position of the continents?
I have the same question on my science homework and I put that it says that the theory states that the continents are formed by plates pushing against each other and that the continents constantly change their positions.I'm mot sure I answered your question but I hope I helped. XD
How did fossils provide evidence for continents drifts?
because if the same fossils were found in the same spot but on two different continents and if you put the continents together like a puzzle and the fossils were in the same spot, it would mean the continents drifted apart.
What are the evidences of the movents of the continents?
The evidence that the continents are moving today is actually just a theory, but is accepted to be true. This theory is known as Continental Drift and is described as the continents belonging to tectonic plates, which are basically floating on the Earth's surface. Evidence to prove such is that the continents all fit together like a jigsaw puzzle and related or the same plant or animal species are located on separated continents, suggesting that they were all once connected to allow the animals to roam and the plants to spread. If they have moved in the past, they must still be moving today, and there are projected paths the continents are taking.
What are shapes that are the same shapes and sizes called?
Congruent
Why is it necessary for cells to be different shapes and sizes?

Are continents same as plates?
No. There can be multiple plates within one continent.
Polygons with the same shapes and sizes?
... are said to be congruent.
Shapes that are the same shape but different sizes?
similarity
What is the definition of similar shape?
similar shapes are shapes that have the same angles but are different sizes.
What are two shapes that are the same shape but are different sizes called?
They are said to be similar shapes and have the same interior angles.
How did a mountain form?
the earth is made up of different plates and all the plates are different sizes, shapes and weight. there are 2 types of plates, oceanic and continental. a mountain is formed when 2 continental plates of the same weight collide into each other, it creates a mountain and the oceanic plates underneath them are pused down.
What is two shapes that are different sizes called?
If they are the same shapes but differ only in size, then they are SIMILAR shapes. Otherwise, they are simply different shapes.
Cells can be different sizes and shapes but they have all the same?
Organelles is a possible answer.
Can you describe 3 clues that support the idea of continental drift?
shapes of the continents fit together. fossils of same dinosaur are found in different continents. same plant fossils in different continents.
Are the size and shape of the continents the same as the size and shape of the plates?
No, there are several more plates than continents (twelve I think) and the plates include both oceans and land. Earthquakes are the result of plates moving, but don't worry, plates do not move fast, only about a centimeter a year.
