What are the Diastrophic movements of the earth?
*Plate tectonic theory *continental drift theory *convection theory *expansion theory theories of diastrophism and diastrophic movements of the earth have the same meaning
What is the study of plate movement?
Plate tectonics or continental drift. Hello Bobs of the world
What theory combined sea floor spreading and continental drift?
Plate Tectonics
A short paragraph about continental drift?
First of all continental drift happened after Pangea. Pangea was a time when all of the continents were formed together. Then platetectonics moved which caused earth quakes. The earth quakes made the continents drift, and is called continental drift. To learn more on continental drifts and plate tectonics visit http;//www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0001765.html
2 examples of continental drift?
recent japan earthquake is the example of plate techtonics
What processes deep within earth do scientist suggest causes plate movements on earth surface?
continental drift
What process deep within Earth do scientists suggest causes plate movements on Earth's surface?
continental drift
What is the study of the movements?
Plate tectonics or continental drift. Hello Bobs of the world
Describe the relationship of continental drift and plate tectonics?
Continental drift is the theory that the Earth's continents have moved over time due to the movement of tectonic plates. Plate tectonics is the scientific theory that describes the large-scale movements and interactions of Earth's lithosphere. Continental drift was one of the key pieces of evidence that led to the development of the theory of plate tectonics.
The primary force that causes the seafloor to spred and continets to drift?
Tectonic plate movements or plate shifting.
How is theory of plate tectonics similar to the continental drift?
continental drift is caused by plate tectonics
How are tectonic plate movements similar?
"Plate tectonics" is a fancy word for "Continental Drift". In both theories the continents move.
What is conti nentaldrift?
Continental drift is the drift of continents. The earth consists of large plates floating on a ball of molten rock. Such a plate is called a tectonic plate, and since they float, they can float a way. This is called continental drift. Continental drift is one of the main causes of earthquakes. Earthquakes especially happen when two continental plates are shifting next to each other.
What are the Diastrophic movements of the earth?
*Plate tectonic theory *continental drift theory *convection theory *expansion theory theories of diastrophism and diastrophic movements of the earth have the same meaning
What is the mechanism that causes the continents to move called?
The mechanism that causes continents to move is called plate tectonics. It is driven by the movement of the Earth's lithosphere, which is divided into plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them. This movement is responsible for phenomena like earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the shifting of continents over time.
What was the continental drift theory replaced by in 1967?
The continental drift theory was replaced by the theory of plate tectonics.
Continental drift is caused by?
plate tectonics
