How were the fossil symbols and mountain belts helpful in deciding where to move the continents

Geography

Shkiper50 [21]3 years ago

In 1912, a German astronomer named Alfred Wegener proposed that the continents around the Indian Ocean were physically joined and moved apart. This theory explained fossil connection and the existence of glacial deposits. Fossils also found in different continents helped scientists and geologists determine the connection between continents. Mountain belts marked the boundaries of moving plates, which showed in which direction the different continents drifted. Fossils and mountain belts were helpful in deciding where to move the continents since the geologists could see how they were placed together.

Similar fossils found on different continents helped geologists determine how the continents used to be connected. Mountain belts marked the boundaries of moving plates, which showed in which direction the different continents drifted. Extrapolating from this information, scientists had a rough idea of how the continents were arranged eons ago.

Select the reasons why most professional telescopes are reflectors rather than refractors.
Julli [10]

Answer:

d). It is easier to make a large reflecting telescope than a large refracting telescope.

f). A reflector can collect more light than a refractor.

Explanation:

A telescope is a device that is used to observe distant objects by the use of lenses and mirrors. It is also used to observe different distant objects by their reflection, absorption, emission or the reflection of the electromagnetic radiations.

Most of the professional telescopes are reflectors because :

1. The reflected telescope is able to receive more of the light when it reflects all the light falling on surface. And it is easier for making a large telescope rather then making large lenses for the refracting telescope. So it is easier to make large reflecting telescope than a large refracting telescope.

2. A reflected telescope receives all the wavelength of the light and it reflects all the light falling on the surfaces where it is refracted telescope that contains lenses cannot absorbs all the light and causes the chromatic aberration.
