Where would you be Most likely to find the oldest rocks on earth?
Andre45 [30]

1. In the middle of the continents

The oldest rocks on our planet can be found in the middle of the continental masses. Such places are the interior of Australia, from where the oldest rock have actually been found, Siberia, Central Africa, the interior of Canada, the interior of Brazil... The reason why this is the case is because of the subduction that occurs between the plates. The oceanic plates are the ones that subduct, thus their crust is getting destroyed, so their rocks are younger. The continental plates, on the other hand, are not getting subducted, but instead they either collide with other continental plates, or go above the oceanic plates that subduct below them, thus their crust is usually not destroyed, except on the surface part where the weathering and erosion are taking part.

2. at conservative boundaries

The conservative plate boundaries, more commonly referred to as transform plate boundaries, are the ones where the tectonic plates are sliding past each other. Instead of the plates moving toward each other, or away from each other, at these boundaries the plates are moving in sliding past each other while moving in opposite directions. The pressure between the plates on these boundaries results in cracks in the crust, known as faults, and they are parallel to the plate boundary. Also, these boundaries are very active geologically, and they often cause earthquakes to occur in the surrounding area.

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

A. Swahilli

Explanation: Swahili developed as a common coastal language as early as the thirteenth century and has been greatly influenced by Arabic. It easily incorporates foreign words (primarily from Arabic, Hindi, Persian, and English) and consequently has been considered the most flexible of all languages in East Africa.

This is worth 24 pointWhich is not evidence that Wegener used to support his theory of continental drift?
marishachu [46]

There's a subtle point involved here that I'll try to explain, and
I hope you catch my explanation:

A real scientist does NOT "use evidence to support his theory". 
That would mean that he dreamed up his theory, then he went
around observing the world and nature, and he wrote down and
took pictures of things he saw that supported his theory, and he
ignored anything that didn't support it.  This is exactly how science
does NOT work.  Anybody who operates that way is  laughed out
of science and you never hear about him again.

The way science works is exactly the opposite:  The curious
investigator observes the world and the things around him. He
sees how things actually work.  That's the 'evidence'.  Eventually
he comes to the point where he's ready to build a theory of WHY
or HOW things work the way they actually do. 

The theory is built to explain the evidence.  The evidence is not
used to support a theory.   And after the theory is offered, the next
step is to test the theory and see if it's worth anything.

Wegener observed that m<span>ountain chains are continuous across
continents, and he learned that similar fossils have been found
on different continents.  When he saw these and other facts, he
eventually offered the theory of continental drift, to EXPLAIN the
evidence.

I only see 5 points.  Where are the other 19 ?
