Volcanism at Nyiragongo is caused by the rifting of the Earth's crust where two parts of the African Plate are breaking apart. >>> breaking apart = divergent = constructive !!!!

There is no right answer for this question. Just because the plates are moving and right now most of the land mass is in the northern hemisphere. That is just where the bulk of it is right now, and someday it will change.

OK, first geography is NOT geology *sigh*\n\nLook up carbon dating; you can either tell by the degradation of carbon or by basic layering (what's on the bottom is older than what's on the top).

The basic idea is that the earth's land mass was unified hundreds of millions of years ago, but has been gradually pulling apart since then.\nAnd large land masses are resting on huge plates. The plates bump against each other, and when one of them shifts,\nyou have an earthquake.\nThink of it like a jigsaw puzzle, but with continent-sized pieces.\n\nFor lots of pictures of plates, and faults, visit here:\nhttp://www.seismo.unr.edu/ftp/pub/louie/class/100/plate-tectonics.html

refer to class 8 ncert \nor \nbharti bhawan (p&d)book "our world: then and now" geography book.you will get short precise answers.

Probably the Editors of Magazine "Jyotishratnam" in Malayalam language will help you.  Look out for a book and correspond with them. This book is quite familiar with all Keralites.

I like this site for looking at where the continents were at different times as the forces of plate tectonics (continental drift) occured.\nhttp://www.scotese.com/earth.htm\n\n50MYA: http://www.scotese.com/newpage9.htm\n150MYA: http://www.scotese.com/late1.htm\n\nThey even project into the 250MY into the future:\nhttp://www.scotese.com/future2.htm\n\nThey also animate the movement of the plates:\nhttp://www.scotese.com/newpage13.htm

Try to look for an earth science book that has pictures of the continents one million years ago and at the present, with arrows showing the direction of drift. Then try to imagine doing the drift again. I tell you, this would require huge amounts of brain power.\n\nI can tell you this: Los Angeles will go north along with the rest of California, the Himalayas will rise higher, the Mediterrainean will disappear, Australia will move northward, squishing Southeast Asia, Central America will move north, Antarctica will spin, and so will Asia, more islands will arise in the widening Pacific, while Africa will be split in two. You do the drawing.

They are geologically separated by a tectonic plate boundary. The fact that it runs across land and is on sight one continuous land mass is not an issue.\nIt's the same as India being referred to as the Sub-continent. India is very firmly attached to Asia but again it sits on a separate plate and is not actually part of Asia even if it is moving towards it thereby creating the greatest mountain range in the world.

the missisippi doesnt normally but it has before. sometime in the early 1900's (i cant remember when) a large earthquake, i think in the mossouri region, actually shifted the earths crust enough for it to run backwards for a short time. this was isolated however and has only happened once in recorded history

I saw Taj two years ago. it is a mgnificent sight!\n\nRead this wikipedia article on 7 wonders. it all depends on perspective and the period of time.

this is a vague queston. But I believe i know what you are asking. Well He already believed that Pangea had formed and broken apart. Evidence from Glacial Striations and rock formations, not to mension an almost perfect mactch of shorelines. I guess it would have more support for his theory. He concluded that the continents were moving. What he could not prove was the mechinism for the movement. it is not actually the continents moving. They are hitching a ride on the techtonic plates.
