Why was wegeners hypothesis for continental drift rejected ?

Biology
1 answer:
vlada-n [284]3 years ago
7 0
Alfred Wegener suggested the Continental Drift Theory. However, this idea was dismissed by scientists. Continental Drift Theory states that all continents were once joined together then they drifted away from each other. It was backed by maps which showed that if continents were pulled close together would fit each other perfectly, just like in a puzzle. However scientists from different fields resisted the idea and accused Wegener of not being an expert of science. The strongest reason of the rejection, however, was that Wegener could not explain how continental drift happened.

The ratio of estrogen to progesterone remains constant throughout pregnancy into labor. false/true
Lady_Fox [76]

False,

In order to start labor, estrogen increases and progesterone decreases.

Estrogens are a class of hormones that are essential for women's healthy sexual and reproductive development. They are sex hormones as well. The majority of estrogen hormones are produced by a woman's ovaries, however minor quantities are also produced in modest amounts by the adrenal glands and fat cells.

Progesterone is a member of the progestin drug class (female hormones). By lowering the level of estrogen in the uterus, it functions as a component of hormone replacement treatment. By substituting for the natural progesterone that some women lack, it helps to initiate menstruation.
