Wegener thought that the continents were moving through the earth's crust, like icebreakers plowing through ice sheets, and that centrifugal and tidal forces were responsible for moving the continents.

On top of that, Wegener learned that related species, too small to swim the oceans, were found on different continents, as were similar fossils. ... The year after Wegener died, Arthur Holmes published his idea that thermal convection in the earth's mantle could cause continents to move.

How does an electroscope detect negative static electricity

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

<span> An electroscope that might have a static charge is tested on a metal surface. From there, the charges move to the metal and straight to the foil leaves. If they repel, or move away from each other, that means they have identical charges. This applies for both positive and negative static electricity.
