A.Carbon dioxide You Are Welcome
Answer:
Correct answer is Wegener had no compelling mechanism to explain what would cause the continents to move.
Explanation:
A is not correct as through his researches he presented his theory to other scientist.
B is not correct as Wegener was very educated, and was even even working as a professor at University.
C is correct that although he presented his theory, he couldn't explain totally how it happened.
D is not correct as during his lifetime his theory wasn't widely accepted. That happened 20 years after his death.
Answer:
1. Continental-continental convergence are both <em>continental crust</em> plates.
2. Buoyancy basically means these plates are light float on top of the Asthenosphere.
Explanation:
1. To go a little more into detail, this type of convergence ocurrs when two plates made of continental crust (not oceanic) collide. In the case of ocean-continent convergence, the denser oceanic crust sinks underneath the lighter continental crust.
In this scenario, we have two plates, neither of which want to sink, so instead of going down they just crumple and fold and keep colliding. This collision creates very high mountain ranges such as the Himalaya and usually doesn't contain any volcanic activity because no magma is capable of penetrating through so much crustal material.
2. As for why continental crust is buoyant and doesn't sink has much to do with its composition. Continental crust is made mostly of silicate material. This is very different from oceanic crust which is made of basaltic rocks and is therefore heavier. The term buoyancy refers to the 'floating action' of the continental crust on top of the uppermost mantle.
