The theory of continental drift by Alfred Wegener states that all land masses were originally united in a single supercontinent known as Pangaea (250 million years ago). He shows evidences like continental fit, similarity of rock sequences, glacial till and striations, fossils (cynogathus-land reptile, lystrosaurus-land reptile, mesosaraus-freshwater reptile, glossopteris-fern plant) to support his theory but what was lacking is that it lacked a mechanism to explain HOW the continents moved apart. But Harry Hess, a geologist and Navy submarine commander during WWII <span>brought up a new evidence to add in support of Wegener’s theory: the idea of seafloor spreading and magnetic reversals.</span>

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

The cultural landscape of Dar es Salaam is a composite of several different culture groups which have administered the place. British policy stimulated the development of a district of 3 to 4 storey apartments reminiscent of Bombay.

Explanation:

Dar es Salaam is a city in Tanzania, it is very populous and has been inhabited by several different cultural groups. Its name means "House of Peace" and jpa became the capital of Tanzania. The different peoples who lived in that city generated a strong cultural diversity and an even greater population. This caused British policy (which dominated this place for a while) to create a project that enabled the development of apartments with 3 to 4 floors. This changed the visual identity of the region and made it look like Bombay.
