The biggest objection to Wegener's continental drift hypothesis was _____.

Geography
1 answer:
Ann [662]3 years ago
5 0

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.

Why do mountains form around big bend
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

The bends causes the overlaying of a crustal layer upon other layer. It results the formation of mountain on the overlying layer.

Explanation:

The big bends on the earth crust are the big faults. This fault formed due to the overlaying of a layer with other layers. The overlying crustal layer has deposits of lands on it and forms big mountains. This is a continuous and slow process. Sometimes the tectonic plate movement results in a sudden rise of some lands, and this forms new tabletop land and also dome mountains. The mountains are always formed due to the fault of the crust which are the bends on the earth.  The mountains also formed due to a volcanic eruption. Such mountains are known as volcanic or igneous mountains. This is the very reason the mountains form around big bends
