Continental plates are always moving and the continents are
still moving today.
They are not in their final positions. This is a continuous
process.
Distribution of some animals and organisms can be explained through
the movement of plates.
For example when land gets collided with water bodies.
Yes, it is possible that some organisms must have speciation
patterns similar to that of
ratites because of plate tectonics.
Hence option C is the answer.
It is not B. The theory of plate tectonics describes movement of plates of the Earth's...
1- The movement of Earth's crust, plate tectonics, contributes to the long-term carbon cycle through all of the answer choices except: a subduction. b mountain lifting. c photosynthesis. d volcanic activity. e None of the other answer options is correct.
1. What did Alfred Wegener's 1912 theory primarily describe?
a. Ring of Fire b. Continental Drift c. Plate Tectonics
d.Convection Currents
2. What factor is primarily responsible for the variation in
distinct life zones encountered as you ascend up a mountain?
a. Changes in Albedo b. Changes in Rock Type c. Changes in
Temperature d. Changes in Pressure
3. The magnetic poles have reversed many times in Earth's
history.
a. True b. False
4. A distinct correlation can be made...
Correlation with the magnetic
time-scale
The magnetic reversal time scale for the past 4.5 Ma, which is
primarily derived from careful work carried out on rocks of the
continental crust, is shown in Figure A3-8.
Correlate the peaks that you selected on the magnetic profiles
with the various events described on the magnetic chronology time
scale, and record the dates of the features in the fourth row of
the table above. Note that points labelled A to E are the...
What properties cause some magmas to be more felsic than others?Different minerals crystallize at different temperatures, changing the chemistry.Some parts of the mantle are felsic and some are mafic, creating felsic magma in the crust.Water from subducting ocean plate mixes with the magma to create felsic magmaAnimals change the chemistry of the magma, making it more felsic.Silica content in igneous rocks controls (select the correct term)["texture", "viscosity", "crystal size"] which, in turn, controls ["eruption style", "crystal size"] ...
