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.

Drag each label to the correct location. Determine whether each example represents continental drift or seafloor spreading. ocea
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

Sea floor spreading- Oceanic ridge and Magma pushing two plates apart.

Continental drift-Concept of pangaea and Oceanic plates sliding under continental crust

Explanation:

Due to the divergent plate movement, the magma come out to the surface, forming the mid oceanic ridge and this separation of plates on the sea floor is known as the sea floor spreading. The magma here pushes the two plates to move apart because of the convection current that generates in the mantle. One example of mid oceanic ridge is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

 Continental drift refers to the slow and gradual movement of the lithospheric plates over the viscous asthenosphere layer. This motion of continents takes place because of the plate tectonic movement. Due to this plate motion, the denser plate gets subducts beneath the less denser plates. For example, the oceanic crust when collides with a continental crust, it gets subducted because of its higher density. The great supercontinent "pangaea" also formed and separated due to this plate motion.

Leé el siguiente texto y responde: Por necesidad, por interés o por ignorancia, los diferentes grupos sociales vamos lentamente
Verdich [7]

Answer:

Natural se encuentra entre comillas porque en realidad el desastre no es provocado por la naturaleza, es decir, que no es natural sino que es una consecuencia del mal uso de los recursos naturales, de la degradación del ambiente para satisfacer necesidades inmediatas en donde no se toma en cuenta el daño que estamos generando. Este daño se acumula e incrementa nuestras vulnerabilidades o potencia las amenazas, por ende los desastres no son naturales sino que son causados por el hombre.

Explanation:

Podemos deducir que la palabra natural se encuentra entre comillas al leer <em>"vamos lentamente degradando el ambiente que nos rodea, incrementando nuestras vulnerabilidades o potenciando amenazas..."</em> o <em>"Las acciones que realizamos sobre nuestro medio, el uso o el desecho que hacemos de los recursos naturales...este manejo genera efectos que se van acumulando." </em>En estas líneas se evidencia que los desastres naturales en realidad no son causados por la naturaleza sino que son una consecuencia del hombre por utilizar mal los recursos naturales y no cuidar el ambiente.
