The builder of a house on a cliff overlooking the ocean should be concerned about what

Geography
1 answer:
Anna11 [10]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Erosion

Explanation:

Building a house on a cliff is a very trick thing. The cliffs usually are not composed of hard rocks, but instead are usually composed of sedimentary rocks which are much softer and less stable on the long run. The cliffs are also exposed to heavy erosion, in the lower parts because of the waves, in the higher parts because of the winds. The erosion makes the cliffs slowly fall apart, and occasionally even crumble down, so a builder that would build a house on a cliff should be wary of all these things and construct the house where it is the safest for the long run.

Which statements describe Wegener’s ideas that became known as the theory of continental drift? Check all that apply.
yarga [219]

Answer:

Options (1), (2) and (3)

Explanation:

Alfred Wegener was the person who first invented the continental drift theory.  He observed that the continents move from one place to another with respect to a fixed point. He put forward many pieces of evidence but he was unable to explain the main mechanism that is responsible for these motion of continents.

The pieces of evidence that were given by Alfred Wegener supporting the continental drift theory are-

(a) The continents move slowly and continuously from one place to another and the edges of these continents perfectly match with the other.

(b) Similar fossil assemblages were found in currently separated continents.

(c) Similar rock types are also found and suggested that the continents were once all together forming a huge landmass which is known as the Pangaea.

Later this theory was modified into a more simple and universally accepted theory which is commonly known as the Plate tectonic theory.

Hence, the correct answers are options (1), (2) and (3).
