Seismologists are interested in the possibility of the two faults being connected together is because two faults tells the possibility of upcoming of natural disasters like earthquake.

Seismic waves are the elastic waves that propagate in solid or fluid materials. They can be divided into the body waves that travel through the interior of the materials; the surface waves that travel along surfaces or interfaces between materials; and the normal modes, a form of standing wave.

There are the two types of body waves, pressure waves or primary waves (P-waves) and the shear or secondary waves (S-waves). P-waves are longitudinal waves that involves compression and expansion in the direction that  wave is moving and are always the first waves to appear on the seismogram as they are the fastest moving waves through solids

Which statements describe Wegener’s ideas that became known as the theory of continental drift? Check all that apply.
yarga [219]

Answer:

Options (1), (2) and (3)

Explanation:

Alfred Wegener was the person who first invented the continental drift theory.  He observed that the continents move from one place to another with respect to a fixed point. He put forward many pieces of evidence but he was unable to explain the main mechanism that is responsible for these motion of continents.

The pieces of evidence that were given by Alfred Wegener supporting the continental drift theory are-

(a) The continents move slowly and continuously from one place to another and the edges of these continents perfectly match with the other.

(b) Similar fossil assemblages were found in currently separated continents.

(c) Similar rock types are also found and suggested that the continents were once all together forming a huge landmass which is known as the Pangaea.

Later this theory was modified into a more simple and universally accepted theory which is commonly known as the Plate tectonic theory.

Hence, the correct answers are options (1), (2) and (3).
