Are continents drifting.?

Answer 1

Yes,continents are drifting but slowly.
They Drift only two or three centimeters in a year.

Answer 2

The Earth's rocky outer crust solidified billions of years ago, soon after the Earth formed. This crust is not a solid shell; it is broken up into huge, thick plates that drift atop the soft, underlying mantle.
The plates are made of rock and drift all over the globe; they move both horizontally (sideways) and vertically (up and down). Over long periods of time, the plates also change in size as their margins are added to, crushed together, or pushed back into the Earth's mantle. These plates are from 50 to 250 miles (80 to 400 km) thick.

The map of the Earth is always changing; not only are the underlying plates moving, but the plates change in size. Also, the sea level changes over time (as the temperature on Earth varies and the poles melt or freeze to varied extents), covering or exposing different amounts of crust.

The current continental and oceanic plates include: the Eurasian plate, Australian-Indian plate, Philippine plate, Pacific plate, Juan de Fuca plate, Nazca plate, Cocos plate, North American plate, Caribbean plate, South American plate, African plate, Arabian plate, the Antarctic plate, and the Scotia plate. These plates consist of smaller sub-plates.

Answer 3

Yes. For example, the atlantic ocean is split down the middle by a volcanic spreading rift, so the ocean gets an inch or two wider every year. In a million years that adds up to more than 20 miles.

Answer 4

Very slowly. That is the theory of continental drift.

Answer 5

they are always drifting

Answer 6

That is what causes earthquakes and tsumanis!

Answer 7

Yes,

But slowly...

Answer 8

some drifter doing great

Answer 9

For sure.
