I got this from NationalGeographic.org

"Decompression melting involves the upward movement of Earth's mosty-solid mantle..."The rifting movement causes the buoyant magma below to rise and fill the space of the lower pressure. The rock then cools into new crust."
I hope this helps you!!!:)

The biggest objection to Wegener's continental drift hypothesis was _____.
Ann [662]

Answer:

a) there was no evidence to support it

Explanation:

Wegener noticed while looking at the maps that some parts of the continents, especially South America and Africa, seem to match up perfectly. This led him to think that maybe the continents in the past were actually connected, but because of some force they moved apart. He went out public with his hypothesis, but it was largely rejected, and he was laughed at and ridiculed, as the scientists thought that there's no force that can move the continents. Wegener didn't stop there, and he continued to look for clues, and finally managed to find some clues at the topography of the Atlantic Ocean. He noticed that the mid-ocean ridge is the highest, but as you move away from it, the sea mounds are becoming flatter and lower, thus a sign of erosion, and he actually turned out to be right.
