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.

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

Brandon M said...

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

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

Brianna M. said...

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

it looked like the contents could fit together.

Riley H. said...

We now think the continents move by weathering

Tectonic Plates is why continents move.

Ian L said...

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.

Anthony E said...

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

I think weathering causes the continents to move.

Weathering is made by rain.

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

The reason continents move is because of tectonic plates.

what moved the stuff was convection currents. :)

Nicole said...

Convections currents are the force that move the plates.

Brianna M. said...

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

Brandon M said...

The reason Continents move is because of Convection Currents.

The reason is plate tectonics.

Jasmine C. said...

I think the continents move because, of convection currents.

Riley H. said...

The continents move from conventional currents

Ian L said...

Convection currents what makes continents move which is continental drift.

Tayte said...

convection currents are the force that move plate.

Lauren Pride said...

convection current forces the plates to move

Kylie M. said...

It happens because hot rock rises.

Abigail N said...

the reason is because is hot rock rise's.

Daniel.B said...

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

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.

Jordan T. said...

The plates move because of convection currents.

Anonymous said...

He couldn't explain plate techtonics.

Kyle G said...

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

Emily said...

Convection currents are the force that move plates.

Caelen Merrill said...

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

Breanna c said...

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

Anonymous said...

They are also moved by convection currents.

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

canada is awesome

morrison doucette said...

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

AllisonL said...

Convection Currents are the force that move the plates.

jada said...

hot rock rize and then idk

Gabe L said...

they didnt know that the what moves earth is plate techtonics

Anonymous said...

the heat moves the earths crust slowly movieing the conatents

Because of lava and rock underground moving up or down or sideways

Katelyn Piche said...

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.

Nikki Newcomb said...

Jasmine L. said...

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

Noelle Lewis said...

Convection currents are the force that move plates.

Brian Wakem said...

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

kolby o said...

When hot rocks rise.

Tristin R said...

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.

Abby D *I paid attention.* said...

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!

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

Anthony said...

The the heat moves the earths crust.

Cory M. said...

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

Bradyn Neundorfer said...

Rock comes up shifts outwards then when it cools it drowns

Lily r said...

The reason continents move is because of continental drift.

shawn Rebel said...

the continents move because hot rocks rise

thomas sampson said...

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

William Harris said...

Heat and convection currents.

Raven Da Senpai said...

Because the hot rock rises to the Earth.

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

i thank that earthquakes broke all the continents.
