What is one reason why many geologists did not at first accept the theory of continental drift?

Biology

Ivan3 years ago

The first reason was that his theory of continental drift was just too weak for most geologists to accept. Even though he believed the supercontinent that broke up into different continents moved, he did not have a clear explanation to how the continents moved. The other reason is that some of his explanation clashed with ideas that were widely accepted in the science communities. He used similar fossils from different continents to back up his theory of continental drift. However, at that time, many scientists that had observed similarities in fossils in places like South America and Africa believed there were similar fossils in different continents because of a land bridge that were formed by two continents.


Many science communities believe that land bridges allowed migration of many different species and even people to one place to another by large bodies of water frozen by low temperature known as ice age.

How are endocytosis and exocytosis similar? how are they different?
suter [353]
Endocytosis and exocytosis are similar in that they are both forms of cell transport. They differ because in endocytosis, a cell transports molecules into a cell (think: endo - in), and in exocytosis, the cell's molecules are transported by being expelled.

Evaporation

Explanation:

On a hot sunny day, the stage of water cycle most likely occurring is the evaporation stage.

At this stage, a phase change is occurring and liquid water is converted to water vapor in the atmosphere.

  • Evaporation is an important aspect of the water cycle.
  • It is preceded by precipitation and followed by condensation in the atmosphere.
  • Water rises from the surface in gaseous forms and condenses in the atmosphere.
  • This is because it is less dense than the surrounding atmosphere.
