Were the contenents ever all as one?

of course...Voted for by ohsweetie2788.
each year the continents move farther and farther apart. there is proof that they were once together because we could fit together like a jigsaw puzzle and artifacts found on one continent have been found on another continent across the ocean that would fit in with us. it is fascinating to think we were all one but unfortunately it will be years before we all meet again!

Every year continents move farther apart, but that means they are also moving closer and closer- on the other side!

Concerning ArtifactsVoted for by frndofyaweh.
The artifacts do point to continental drift, but the time lines have always been a problem. The solution: At one point in history all the continents moved in one big jump and then began to slow down, to the drift we have today. Same goes for magnetism and gravity. If at one time in the past, our magnetic fields and gravity were stronger than at present; it would cause many differences in Earths habitat and enviroment. Larger bone mass in all species, a singular land mass would occur, polar ice could not exist and increased density, which would also cause higher concentrations of gases, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide. Carbon dating would then be, a seriously flawed science, as well.

yes they wereVoted for by Kazrith.
again we get into geology. certain minerals only form at a certain temp at a certain time in a certain blah blah blah. you get the point. to prove contental drift, you only have to go as far as geology. diamonds on the coast of South America and on the coast of Africa. simple. these mineral commonalities exist all over the world, and the bans fit when you put the pieces together.

Yeah...
More than years... There's all sorts of tectonic movements. Someday (again way off but well before all continents merge) LA will be next to San Fransisco because of the San Andreas fault. They are getting closer at about the same rate that a person's fingernails grows.Please register or login to comment! It's totally free
