The contain different masses and gravitational forces.
Answer:
Continental drift in terms of plate tectonics.
Explanation:
- Continental drift is a theory given to explain the formation of various plates or slabs on the surface of the earth and the theory is evident in the form of Alfred Wegener as a geologist who through his research and discoveries and advanced knowledge gave the concept.
- Plates on which the landmasses and various features are made is not static as it looks and is more dynamic and was more destructive in the past as the formation of the earth during the 4.6 billion years ago the continental landmass underwent transformations and breakthrough happened as the split and rejoined and again joined to form what is seen today.
- These plates drifted in such ways that the landmasses formed various properties of the northern and southern hemispheres. Wegener gave evidence of Jigsaw fit puzzle, drifting of the climatic zones, spreading of the plants and animals located at the same continental borders.
- Moving of the plates under the action of gravity and wind speeds.
Explanation:
Lava Cools on the side of a volcano
Storms erode the hardened lava
Particles of hardened water settle at the bottom of lakes
Layers of sediments bond underwater
Plate movement bakes sedimentary layers.
Since the transition is from igneous to sedimentary to metamorphic rocks;
- Lava which is magma or molten rock that reaches the surface cools and solidifies to form a volcano.
- Weathering and erosion of the volcano then proceeds and sediments are formed
- The sediments are further carried underwater where they harden at bottom of lakes.
- Layers of the sediments bond and cements together underwater to form sedimentary rocks.
- Tectonic activities further bakes the layers to form metamorphic rocks.
Precise time of an element's radioactive decay can be studied with the help of amount of Carbon on the body. By measuring and comparing the amount of Carbon on the body, Scientists interpret, & can calculate the actual age of an object
Hope this helps!
