∙ 11y agohow it like hmm it was a long time ago back in the 1900's when i was born and yes i am still alive well it was once a big Continent called Pangaea and the south was called Buddy Asia and north was the Major League Gaming. And Every Year It Moves 2 Inch's Apart And Each Continent has plates called plates tectonics. But Guess What You Have Been TROLLED SO HARD. I AM IN MIDDLE SCHOOL AND I WAS LOOKING AT THIS FOR MY PROJECT WHICH IS DUE ON THE 27 TH 3 DAYS TO FINISH IT HOPE I DO YOU BEEN TROLL SO HARD

Does continental drift cause new land?
Yes, it can cause new land if an underwater volcano erupts due to Continental Drift, and the lava goes hard.
What was used to dispute continental drift?
Continental drift is a concept relating to the movement of the Earth's continents. The proving of the continental drift theory came from evidence found around the world. Foremost, scientists had discovered that similar plants and animal fossils were found in or around different continents, suggesting that they were once joined. The theory of plate tectonics also supported continental drift. If one were to look at a global map, the complementary arrangements between South America and Africa can be easily seen.
When you right continental drift does it have to be capitalized?
No, only Continental Drift Theory.
Why is the continental drift theory a theory and not a scientific law?
The Continental Drift theory is a theory because there is no evidence to support it. Alfred Wegener developed the Continental Drift theory in the 1800's.
What are the driving forces of continental drift?
The driving Forces of Continental drift are both gravity and the motion of the underground Tectonic Plates.
Does continental drift cause new land?
Yes, it can cause new land if an underwater volcano erupts due to Continental Drift, and the lava goes hard.
What is the name given to the land in the continental drift theory?
Pangia
What is the very slow movement of the continents is called?
Continental Drift
What is the process of continental drift and how has it shaped the Earth's geography over millions of years?
Continental drift is the concept that the world's continents once were a single mass and have since drifted to their present positions.
What are the different theories of land formation?
continental drift theoryplate tectonics theory
How did you break land into 7 continents?
Continental drift - the movement of tectonic plates
How did continental drift affect pengea?
it affected it because the land got separated
When continents break apart into separate land masses is called?
continental drift
Wegener's theory of what says that land masses move slowly?
Continental drift
When continents break apart into separate land masses is called what?
Continental Drift
Over time the land masses drifted apart called?
Continental Drift.
When continents break apart into separate land masses it is called?
