The first answer is right. In 1492, Christopher Columbus wanted to find a quicker route to Asia so, he thought to go west instead. At that time, people thought the world was flat and if you sailed to far you would either fall off the earth or just end up on the opposite side of the world. Christopher Columbus thought that moving west would make him end up on the opposite side of the world which was closer to Asia. He didn't arrive in Asia but, in the West Indies. Also, here is a trick to learn how to remember it. There is a rhyme that goes like this: "Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue, In 1492."

What process causes the continents to drift apart? How?
lina2011 [118]

The continents are not drifting, exactly. They are physically attached to the tectonic plates, which are basically enormous slabs of rock that are stacked on top of each other. The tectonic plates cause the continents to move in a process known as <u>plate tectonics,</u> also causing earthquakes, sink holes, and a number of other natural disasters. I think the best way to make a visualization of this is making a plate of pancakes, and stacking them while only half of each pancake is on top of the previous one, and as it goes up, it becomes more steep, until the point where they fall over.
