because we are not near a plate boundary

why is it very unlikely that a volcano will pop up in Michigan?

Who came up with the theory of Continental Drift?
Alfred Wegner came up with the theory of Continental Drift?

Ring of Fire

Where most of the volcanoes and earthquakes in the world happen

because two plates are crashing into each other

explain why the Himalayan Mountains are getting taller

Pangea

The name of the "super continet"

Harry Hess

The scientist who realized the seafloor was spreading. Thanks to him, people now believed Alfred Wegner was right. (Too bad Alfred had already died)

it makes bubbles, temperature goes down

explain how we know that mixing alka-seltzer in water is a chemical reaction

There was once a super continent called Pangea. Is there a possibility that there could be another one?

Yes there is high chance that another one could possibly form. But even though there is one documented one, there have been quite a few of supercontinents.

75 %

What percentage of volcanoes happen along the ring of fire?

400

because it is made up on 2 elements- hydrogen and oxygen

explain why water is not on the periodic table

400
What cause the continents to move?
The cause of Continental Drift is Plate Tectonics. When they move, they cause the continents to move that are on them.

Fossil Evidence

What evidence is proof of Continental Drift? 

A. Magnetic Reversal

 B. Fossil Evidence 

C. Fossil Fuels

Pea Plants

What did Gregor Mendel study? 

500
What do Plate Tectonics cause in our everyday lives?
Sea Floor Spreading, Continental Drift, and Earthquakes ect..
500

it doesn't make a new substance, you could undo it. 

Why is cutting paper not a chemical reaction?

500
Why is it called Continental Drift?
It is called Continental Drift because it is continents moving not something else.
