Answer:
scientist can tell by observing the seismic waves that are recorded all over the surface of the earth from distant earthquakes
Explanation:
The correct answer is - Seafloor spreading at the mid-ocean ridge provides the mechanism for tectonic plate movement.
Harry Hess is one of the people that is most important when it comes to the proving and world wide acceptance of the continental drift theory.
Hess was very interested in the topic, and he was constantly looking for clues that would bring light to it and finally have a definite proof of it. While sailing through the Atlantic and doing some examinations, Hess noticed that there high mountains in the water, having flat peaks, and being arranged in an interesting manner. These underwater mountains, named guyouts, were the highest at a certain point, and than on both sides, as the distance was increasing they were becoming smaller and smaller.
What Hess stumbled upon was the seafloor spreading and how it works, and he recognized that quickly. He immediately went on to share what he discovered, that there's magma coming from bellow, solidifying and spreading, thus creating new crust while pushing the old crust away from the center, which is the reason why the continents are moving.
Answer:
D. Relative Humidity
Explanation:
Relative Humidity is a measure of how much water vapor is present in the air compared to the amount required for saturation at a specific temperature.
Example: If the relative humidity is 30%, that means that the air contains 30% of the water needed for saturation.
Africa has a large extent of tropical seasonal forests and savannas; a band runs through sub-saharan Africa and runs down the eastern coast with another band extending across the continent south of the tropical rainforest. There are extensive areas of these biomes in India, southeast Asia, and northern Australia as well.
