He couldn't provide as much satisfactory explaining for the force that pushes or pulls the continents also because it contradicted their ideas about how mountains form.

I think they were also too skeptic to believe the ocean did move or pull apart, even today do you believe that the continents broke from one big flat plate, and that they pulled apart? They also wonder what large force would be responsible for the movement.

It was much later that evidences from plant and animal features that had similarity from two different planets came up that scientists began accepting the idea of continental drift.
And similar rock strata from two different opposite continents, showed similar rock strata.
All these evidences came up much later after Alfred Wengener.

So Alfred Wengener was honored Posthumously.

A roller coaster, traveling with an initial speed of 21 m/s, decelerates uniformly at -3.5
liberstina [14]

Answer:

S = Vo t + 1/2 a t^2       distance traveled

t = (V2 - V1) / a = (0 - 21) / -3.5 = 6 sec       time to stop

S = 21 * 6 - 3.5 * 6^2 / 2 = 63 m        distance traveled

The evidence is overwhelming that the Grand Canyon was dug over a span of millions of years by the erosive power of the Colorado
Vesna [10]

Answer:

evolutionary theory

Explanation:

The evidence is overwhelming that the Grand Canyon was dug over a span of millions of years by the erosive power of the Colorado River and that river’s tributary streams.

This evidence does not support catastrophic theory but it does support evolutionary theory, because it was gradual process and took place overtime. It did not happen in a catastrophic manner.

The true statements about magnetic fields and forces will be A,D and E.

<h3>What is a magnet?</h3>

An iron piece,alloy, or other substance with its constituent atoms arranged in such a way that it shows magnetism qualities,

The function of the magnet is attracting other iron-containing objects or aligning itself in a magnetic field.

There are two poles of the magnet;

1. North Pole.

2. South Pole.

The same poles repel each other, while the opposite poles attract each other. In a sense, south-south and north-north repel. While the north-south and the south-north attract each other.

The correct statements are;

(A). The north pole attracts the south pole of a magnet.

(D)Forces caused by magnetic fields are weaker farther from the magnet.

(E)Magnetic forces can act on an object even if the object isn't touching the magnet.

Hence, the true statements about magnetic fields and forces will be A,D and E.
