What was the mechanism

Alfred Wegener was missing the reason why the continents moved. Using just one sentence explain what we now believe is the reason why the continents move.

  4. I think weathering is the cause of weatering and RAIN!!!

  5. Wenger was missing the reason why the continents move we now know that they move from seafloor spreading and tectonic plates.

    ReplyDelete
  6. What we believe now is continental drift is the source of continents moving.

    ReplyDelete
  7. We believe that the reason why the continents are moving is plate tectonics moving past each other.

  8. it looked like the contents could fit together.

    ReplyDelete
  9. We now think the continents move by weathering

    ReplyDelete
  10. Tectonic Plates is why continents move.

    ReplyDelete
  11. We know believe that the continents moved, North america and Europe has the same plant life and rocky places so they were apart each other.

    ReplyDelete
  12. We now believe that the continents moved because of weathering and erosion, and I think because of seafloor spreading.

    ReplyDelete
  13. I think weathering causes the continents to move.

    ReplyDelete
  14. cause of the continents moving

    ReplyDelete
  15. Weathering is made by rain.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I think that weathering is the reason why the continents move.

  18. I think that the earthquakes and the movement of the water will cause the continents to move.

  19. Wenger was missing the reason why the continents move we now know that they move from seafloor spreading and tectonic plates

  20. The reason continents move is because of tectonic plates.

    ReplyDelete
  21. what moved the stuff was convection currents. :)

    ReplyDelete
  22. Convections currents are the force that move the plates.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Convection currents are what cause the plates to move and to move the continents.

    ReplyDelete
  24. The reason Continents move is because of Convection Currents.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I think that convection currents are what moved the continents.

    ReplyDelete
  26. The reason is plate tectonics.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I think the continents move because, of convection currents.

    ReplyDelete
  28. The continents move from conventional currents

    ReplyDelete
  29. Convection currents what makes continents move which is continental drift.

    ReplyDelete
  30. convection currents are the force that move plate.

    ReplyDelete
  31. convection current forces the plates to move

    ReplyDelete
  32. It happens because hot rock rises.

    ReplyDelete
  33. the reason is because is hot rock rise's.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I think it rise and then splits and then starts cooling down.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Convection Current makes the continents move, which is when hot rock pushes against the earths surface, and the cool rock goes down into the earth.

    ReplyDelete
  36. The plates move because of convection currents.

    ReplyDelete
  37. He couldn't explain plate techtonics.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Convection currents are what move plates that causes earthquakes and volcanoes to erupt also.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Convection currents are the force that move plates.

    ReplyDelete
  40. The reason we believe that continents move, are because the convection currents are moving plate tectonics.

    ReplyDelete
  41. the thing that alfred wagner was missing the evidence of convection currents are the force that move plates.

    ReplyDelete
  42. They are also moved by convection currents.

    ReplyDelete
  43. [Scottish accent ] the rock gets heated by the earths core witch moves the sea floor to move the contenents.

    ReplyDelete
  44. canada is awesome

    ReplyDelete
  45. Convection Currents make the plates move on the surface of the earth to make lava to burst

    ReplyDelete
  46. Convection Currents are the force that move the plates.

    ReplyDelete
  47. hot rock rize and then idk

    ReplyDelete
  48. they didnt know that the what moves earth is plate techtonics

    ReplyDelete
  49. the heat moves the earths crust slowly movieing the conatents

    ReplyDelete
  50. It happens because hot rock rises

    ReplyDelete
  51. Because of lava and rock underground moving up or down or sideways

    ReplyDelete
  52. We now believe that the reason why continents move is because of hot rock in the crust of the earth. It rises, causing the plates to move.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Convection currents are the force that move plates.

    ReplyDelete
  54. I think the reason why the continents move because, the the heat moves the earths crust.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Convection currents are the force that move plates.

    ReplyDelete
  56. What we believe that happened was hot rock flowing up from the earths core moving the earths plates causing continental drift.

    ReplyDelete
  57. When hot rocks rise.

    ReplyDelete
  58. The continents move because the plate tectonics move and those move because of hot rock in the crust of the Earth rising and rubbing against the surface and pulling the plates away.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Abby D *I paid attention.*Thursday, October 22, 2015

    It happens because the rock heated by the earths flaming, boiling hot core rises up and forces the plates apart. When the plates are forced apart, pieces of rock is pushed into the earths core and melted, making more rock to move the earth apart. If Alfred Wegener knew this, and he had proof of it. He'd be a genius and NOT called a mad-man!

    ReplyDelete
  60. What Alfred Wegener was missing is how the tectonic plates move. The plates move from heat from the earths core slowly spreading them apart.

    ReplyDelete
  61. The the heat moves the earths crust.

    ReplyDelete
  62. The earths core releases hot rock and it makes parts of the world sink

    ReplyDelete
  63. Rock comes up shifts outwards then when it cools it drowns

    ReplyDelete
  64. The reason continents move is because of continental drift.

    ReplyDelete
  65. the continents move because hot rocks rise

    ReplyDelete
  66. hot rock rises and makes the sufis move in directions.
    then as it cools it falls back down.

    ReplyDelete
  67. Heat and convection currents.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Because the hot rock rises to the Earth.

    ReplyDelete
  69. heat pressure and convection currents

    ReplyDelete
  70. convection currents are the force that move plates

    ReplyDelete
  71. What we believe now is continental drift is the source of continents moving.

    ReplyDelete
  72. I think that weathering is the reason why the continents move.

    ReplyDelete
  73. Convection currents

    ReplyDelete
  74. I think heat and weathering is the reason why the continents move

    ReplyDelete
  75. I think that convection currents are why the continents move.

    ReplyDelete
  76. We now believe that the continents move because of convection currents.

    ReplyDelete
  77. I think the continents move because of different kinds of waves and the moving of plates.

    ReplyDelete
  78. the continental drift. :) (the plates of the earth moving around the molten center)

    ReplyDelete
  79. The continents move from conventional currents

    ReplyDelete
  80. convection currents are why the continents move

    ReplyDelete
  81. The continents move from conventional currents

    ReplyDelete
  82. I think that a big earthquake moved all the continents.

    ReplyDelete
  83. i thank that earthquakes broke all the continents.

    ReplyDelete
  84. I think it was earthquakes that moved the continents.
