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.

When farmers in Central America do NOT use pesticides on bananas, it generally results in taller banana trees and larger bananas
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The farmers in Central America have been using pesticides extensively in the past several decades. While everyone would prefer that the bananas, as well as the other fruits, be all natural, organic, it is simply not practical and that type of production will result in deficit of the product on the market. The reason why the pesticides are used so much is so that the tree is not attacked by diseases and pests and the bananas to get destroyed.

The usage of pesticides actually contributes to the tree growing taller and being healthier, as the diseases and pests are mostly eliminated. The bananas themselves are too larger and in higher quantity, so the demand on the market is largely satisfied.
