The matching coastlines of the continents of Alfred Wegener was not seen as serious as it was not a real proof of anything, and it also was very limited.

Explanation:

Alfred Wegener is the person that developed and promoted the continental drift theory. His theory was based around numerous evidence, and while some of those evidence were good indicators on their own, some were not, and they  were not good enough on their own.

One of the evidence were the matching coastlines of the continents. This on its own wasn't good enough evidence, as it could have easily been just a coincidence that some coastlines match. Also, this was based on the matching coastlines of only two continents, Africa (its western part) and South America (its eastern part). The other continents didn't seemed to have matching coastlines as these two, which was just another reason for the other scientists to claim that it is a coincidence.

Some of the other evidence that Wegener used for his theory were:

  • fossils
  • mid-ocean ridge (spreading zones)
  • matching rock strata from different continents

The tip of a pair of scissors
LenKa [72]
"A pair of scissors consists of two pivoted blades. In lower-quality scissors, the cutting edges are not particularly sharp; it is primarily the shearing<span> action between the two blades that cuts the material. In high-quality scissors, the blades can be both extremely sharp, and tension sprung - to increase the cutting and shearing tension only at the exact point where the blades meet. The hand movement (pushing with the thumb, pulling with the fingers) can add to this tension. An ideal example is in high-quality tailor's scissors or shears, which need to be able to perfectly cut (and not simply tear apart) delicate clothes such as chiffon and silk."</span>

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

1. Applying <u>the principle of original horizontality</u> -indicates that layers were repositioned from a flat-lying orientation.

2. Magma intrudes into layers of sedimentary rock and displaces them. We can deduce that the intruded magma that crystallizes is younger than the surrounding sedimentary layers by applying <u>the principle of crosscutting relationships</u>.

3. While visiting the Grand Canyon, you are amazed by the depth of layers of sedimentary rock before you, <u>the law of superposition</u>-- is evident here where progressively younger layers have formed over time and are stacked upon each other.

4. A fault cuts through layers of limestone, sandstone, and conglomerate. The surrounding layers must be <u>older</u> than the fault.

5. A mass of granite has inclusions of surrounding sandstone. The sandstone and surrounding layers show evidence of uplift over time. The granite must be <u>younger</u> than the sand deposits.
