Answer: The evidence that was found for continental drift/plate tectonics after Wegener published his theory is the existence of mid-ocean ridges, where seafloor spreading starts

Explanation:

Hess envisaged that oceans grew from their centres, with molten material called basalt gushing up from the Earth's mantle just along the mid ocean ridges. Hess explained that this event created new seafloor which then spread away from the ridge in both directions.

This evidence was found by Hess after Wegener published his theory on continental drifts/plate tectonics.

Briefly explain how physical weathering enhances the rate (speed) of chemical weathering?
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

Physical weathering enhances the rate of chemical weathering .

Explanation:

Physical weathering is the breaking down of rocks by various processes like freezing and thawing without altering the rocks chemical composition.

While, chemical weathering involves the disintegration and dissolution of rocks by the chemical processes like oxidation , carbonation and solution processes etc.

Generally a fractured rock can easily be weathered by chemical agents rather than a normal fractured rock.

So ,

when a rock is already subjected to physical weathering, the rock will develop cracks on it and when the chemical agents comes in contact with that rock, the chemical solution will penetrate into those cracks and will dissolve the rocks at a rapid rate.
