These two theories are related because they are continuity from one another. The theory of plate tectonics insinuates that the crust layer is broken into multiple pieces, this is caused by the pressure of the mantle layer, which managed to break the crust where it is thinner. The theory of continental drift insinuates that the tectonic plates move around the Earth because of the pressure from the hot semi-liquid mantle layer.

The difference between continental drift and plate tectonics is that the theory of continental drift states that the world was made up of a single continent.The theory of plate-tectonics, on the other hand, states that earth's surface is broken into numbers of shifting plates or slabs.

What causes two distinct pressure zones between the equator and the poles? . . A. The troposphere interacts with the mesophere.
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

<u>D. Earth's rotation</u>

Explanation:

  • The Coriolis force, cause distinct pressure zones between the equator and the poles due to the spinning of the earth on its axis. This force directs the winds on the right side in the northern hemisphere and directs them in the left side in the southern hemisphere.
  • This force is the cause and consequence of the earth's internal inertia. Friction force causes it to be actively seen in motion. Compared to other force Coriolis force is smaller and it only deflects the pressure pattern in north and south spheres.  
  • Horizontal deflation is grater near the poles, and less away from poles. The named is given after a French mathematician and physicist Gaspard-Gustave de Coriolis.
