Explain what force caused the movement of the continents from one supercontinent to their present positions

Verified Answer :

This was called pangea the supercontinent was separated by faults and sea floor spreading there is evidence today they were all together

The earth during 200 million years started to split from what was known as Pangaea and has now attained a different formation.

  • The plate tectonic theory given by Alfred Wegener is based on the forces that lead to the splitting and drifting of the world continent and how they attainted their present forms.
  • Forces like the poleward moving forces and gravitational attraction of sun and moon. After the discovery of magnetic animalities in the seafloor it became evident that seafloor spreading took place and parts of earth's crust were uplifted.  

This lead to the conclusion of the convective current that led to the displacement and drifting nature of the continents to their present forms.
