The Capture Theory is not a valid theory, per se. The Impact Theory is the theory most recognized. The theory states </span><span>that the moon formed from dust produced by a collision between Earth and another large body.

Light is not a wave because it does not need a medium
Reil [10]
It's a tough question as to whether light is a wave or a particle..

The statement is FALSE. Not all types of waves need a medium to propagate. Light can travel without a medium. 

Extra Information:
Light is a longitudinal wave, sound is transverse.
Longitudinal waves do not need a medium.
Transverse waves need a medium.
This is why, for example, in the vacuum of space, light travels from stars, but sound does not.

One of the principal difficulties in establishing the theory of continental drift (the idea that tectonic plates drift around on
iragen [17]

Answer:

The energy that drives this movement is heat within the earth, this heat comes from two main sources which are;

1) residual heat left over from the formation of our planet billions of years ago.

2) The radioactive decay of naturally occurring chemical elements (notably uranium, thorium, and potassium ) in the earth releases energy in the form of heat. These two sources of heat warm Earth’s mantle and cause it to rise and sink, this rising and sinking creates a convectional movement of earth mantle.
