<span>Alfred Wegener was a German meteorologist who was the founding father of the theory of continental drift. As far as climate was concerned, Wegener found glacial deposits, the remains of drifts of debris compiled by glacial action in tropical areas of the earth, where it was much too warm for glaciers to exist. Likewise, he found the remains of tropical plants and animals that were located in areas much too cold to foster such life forms. Wegener correctly postulated the continents must have been in different climatic environments at one time. Then, they drifted, largely by the rotational spin of the earth to their present locations in totally different climates. Wegener's idea of continental drift had a hard time gaining acceptance among the scientific community, as he had a weak mechanism explaining what could cause large land masses, such as the continents, to drift across large bodies of oceanic water to totally different climatic conditions.

Complete question:
1. Which of the following is true of the Trade Winds?
A They are diverging winds in the vicinity of the equator replacing sinking air.
B They are converging winds as a result of the coming together of the two westerlies.
C They are variable winds that move west to east in the mid latitudes.
D They are converging winds around the Sub-tropical High out of the sinking air.
E They are converging winds in the vicinity of the equator at the surface, replacing the rising air.
Answer:
E They are converging winds in the vicinity of the equator at the surface, replacing the rising air.
Explanation:
Trade winds are prevailing winds that flows in the earth equatorial region. The trade winds are persistent wind that blows from east to west. The trade wind have been used by captain and sailor to navigate across the world ocean. The trade winds are much stronger and consistent over the ocean than over the land. This wind is also characterized by great constancy in direction and to an extent speed .
Trade wind also assisted to promote trade between continents. The wind established trade route across the Atlantic and pacific ocean.
Trade wind converge in the vicinity of the equator at the surface displacing the rising air.
I don't think there's a southern time zone because the Earth moves vertically-horizontal not horizontal-vertically.
So the answer to your question is D.
Answer:
a mix of many different economic opportunities
Explanation:
In my opinion it's the only one that makes sense if you get it wrong I'm sry
