The topmost layer of the earth (aside from the atmospher) would be the crust. It is made up of tectonic plates that move in different directions. The collisons and abrasions made by these plates sliding and crashing into each other means that mountain ranges pop up like wrinkles, and continents can move around over time. This happens over millions of years.
good luck !

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Sea floor spreading theory is given Harry Hess the line of evidence that support this are given as under.

Explanation:

Evidence from Molten Matter  

In the 1960s scientists found that there is a presence of new materials from below that need the lava to be uplifted and spread along the boundaries of mid-oceanic ridges i.e the lava or magma spreads through the active plate margins of both plates. The red sea is newly formed is an example of spreading, <u>(a process of oceanic basin creation)</u>.

Evidence from Magnetic strips

The magnetism of the earth helped the scientists study the process of seafloor spreading as the newly formed lava gets deposited on either side of the ridges it takes the magnetic properties of the earth. The ocean floor is divided into strips of north and south after cooling.

Active and passive plate margins.  

The tri-junction of plates and newly discovered plate like that od red sea and splitting of the rift valley and transform faults. Movement of continents away from each other. Examples include Eastern pacific rise and Mid Atlantic ridge.

Mountain range that runs through central italy
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

Apennines Mountain Range

Explanation:

Italy's landscape is dominated by one physical feature in most of the country, and that is the Apennines Mountain Range. This mountain range runs through the central part of the country, being parallel with the stretching of the western and eastern coastlines. Because it is the most marking feature in the peninsula, the peninsula got its name after it. The Apennines are very long mountain range for European standards, stretching for 1,200 km, from the Ligurian Alps in the northwest, to Reggio di Calabria in the southeast. This mountain range is divided into three parts, northern, central, and southern. The highest point of these mountains is 2,912 meters.
