Is there any answer choices before i start answering ur question
Answer:
C. could not provide a mechanism for moving continents
Explanation:
Without the discovery of magnetic reversals recorded on the ocean floor, scientists could not provide a mechanism for moving continents.
Magnetic reversals are responsible for geological shifts and depend on the distribution of tectonic plates that causes movements of continents.
Asymmetric movement of tectonic plates leads to movement of continents and the degree of asymmetry varies with the same rythm of the magnetic reversal rate.
Hence, discovery of magnetic reversals are important to identify the mechanism for moving continents.
Some of the evidence comes from fossils, and some comes from studies that show how similar living things are to one another. By the 1930s, scientists had also learned about genes. As a result, they could finally explain how characteristics of organisms could pass from one generation to the next and change over time
I believe this would be true
