Explain how the distribution of the similar rock types can be used as evidence for continental drift

Biology
1 answer:
anastassius [24]2 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

Similar rock types can be used as an evidence for continental drift because rocks forms under different geologic conditions.

Most natural depression on the earth surface are filled with thick sedimentary sequences that have been subjected to lithification.

In some terrain, magmatic activities are rife with prevailing tectonic settings controlling how they cool and solidify.

Also, some terrains have experience prolong metamorphic change and this dives spurious metamorphic transformation of minerals.

  • A terrain will have a rock type that typifies it.
  • If the two terrains become separated, it is possible to correlates the rock sequences in them.
  • For sedimentary rocks, a geologic column and stratigraphy can be useful on correlating them.
  • In metamorphic rocks. different facies have typical index minerals in them that can be used to match them.
  • Dating some minerals in igneous rocks and even establishing sequences have proven useful in explaining continental drift between terrains

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

The use of music

Explanation:

<em>The independent variable in the example is the use of music.</em>

The independent variable in research or experiment is a variable whose value is not affected by any other variable. That is, the value of an independent variable is not influenced by any other variable.

<u>In this case, the use of music stands alone and is not influenced by any other variable in the experiment. In actual fact, the use of music's effect is being tested in the experiment and hence, is not in itself influenced by any other variable.</u>
