The biggest objection to Wegener's continental drift hypothesis was _____.
Ann [662]

Answer:

a) there was no evidence to support it

Explanation:

Wegener noticed while looking at the maps that some parts of the continents, especially South America and Africa, seem to match up perfectly. This led him to think that maybe the continents in the past were actually connected, but because of some force they moved apart. He went out public with his hypothesis, but it was largely rejected, and he was laughed at and ridiculed, as the scientists thought that there's no force that can move the continents. Wegener didn't stop there, and he continued to look for clues, and finally managed to find some clues at the topography of the Atlantic Ocean. He noticed that the mid-ocean ridge is the highest, but as you move away from it, the sea mounds are becoming flatter and lower, thus a sign of erosion, and he actually turned out to be right.

Las plantas y animales terrestre tienen estructuras de sostén mas rígidas que los acuáticos, porque pasa esto?
Aliun [14]

Answer:

La presión del agua es una de las razones.

Explanation:

Una gran razón de esto es la presión presente en el agua. El agua es más pesada que el aire, por lo que a presiones más profundas se vuelve más difícil para ciertos animales funcionar. Para dar cuenta de esto, muchos organismos y plantas dentro del agua se desarrollan para no tener esqueletos, ciertos órganos y otras partes del cuerpo que limitan su existencia en el agua. Las medusas son un buen ejemplo de esto.
