What prevented many geologists from accepting. Wegeners theory of continental drift

Biology
1 answer:
marissa [1.9K]3 years ago
3 0

No mechanism for his theory

Explanation:

Many geologist did not accept Wegener's theory because there was no mechanism to explain his observations.

Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of continental drift from which he explained the land masses on earth were once joined together.

He used evidences of;

  • Similar fossils found in different places today.
  • Tropical plant fossils found in polar regions.
  • Similar mountains found on different continents today.

 His theory was rebuffed because there was no sound mechanism to explain for why the continents drifted.

The theory of seafloor spreading and plate tectonics later explained Wegener's claims.

A single motor neuron together with all the skeletal muscle fibers it innervates is called a _____.
mylen [45]

A single motor neuron together with all the skeletal muscle fibers it innervates is called a motor unit.

  • Motor neurons are more than just relays for the motor commands sent down the hierarchy from higher levels. They themselves are parts of intricate circuits that carry out extensive information processing.
  • Due to their highly branching, intricate dendritic trees, motor neurons are able to integrate inputs from several other neurons and generate accurate outputs.
  • A single motor neuron, and nothing else, innervates each and every muscle fiber (make sure you understand the difference between a muscle and a muscle fiber). However, several muscle fibers can be innervated by a single motor neuron.
  • A motor unit is the aggregate of a single motor neuron and all of the muscle fibers that it innervates. The innervation ratio refers to how many fibers a motor unit innervates.

What can happen to a sedimentary rock once it is formed?
Reika [66]

Explanation:

It can do three things:

1) It can erode/weather to form new sediments that later become a new sedimentary rock.

2) It can undergo heat and pressure changes and become metamorphic rock.

3) It can be melted and solidify into igneous rock.

Once this happens, it can repeat any of these processes.
