What do you think might happen if all the energy that was not absorbed were to leave the atmosphere and go back out into space?

Vlad [161]

Answer:

<u>Temperatures extremes.</u>

Explanation:

If the energy that came in the form of incoming solar radiation on the earth did not reach the ground or faded away before reaching the earth's surface the earth would have become a cold planet like pluto far and secluded.

Sun plays a major and big role in the formation of the earth what it is today. Sun's rays besides giving light to the solar system also a contributor to the heat energy that reaches the greater depth of the oceans and warms the landmasses from above also it acts to balance the earth's entire circulatory tilt in a flow.

If the planet was left without the sun then life would not have existed on the planet as the root driving factor would have been lost, in other terms such type of hypothesis would have not been possible due to gravitational pull and other factors like density.

What is one reason why many geologists did not at first accept the theory of continenal drift ?

Levart [38]

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>The Continental drift</u> is the displacement of continental masses relative to each other. This hypothesis was developed in 1912 by Alfred Wegener, who affirmed <u>that thousands of years ago there was a single and unique supercontinent, called </u><u>Pangea</u><u>, which later became separated. </u>

His formulations were based mainly on the way in which the forms of the continents seem to fit on each side of the Atlantic Ocean, such as Africa and South America. He also took into account the distribution of certain fossils that coincided in continents far from each other.

<h2>At first this approach was discarded by most of his colleagues, because <u>his theory lacked a logical and geological explanation for its epoch. </u></h2><h2></h2>

He proposed that the continents move on another denser layer of the Earth that made up the ocean floor. But it was not until the 1960s, with the development of the theory of tectonic plates, that the movement of the continents could be adequately explained.
