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

2. Some types of syrup are almost entirely made of glucose molecules. If a person ate some syrup like this, what would happen to
marishachu [46]

Answer: The options are not given. Here are the options.

A. It would be harder for her to exercise

B. It would be easier for her to exercise

C.Nothing would happen to her ability to exercise, but her respiratory system would not work as hard, since glucose has more energy than oxygen molecules.

D.Nothing would happen to her ability to exercise, but her digestive system would not work as hard, since glucose is already small enough to get to her cells.

The correct option is D.

Nothing would happen to her ability to exercise, but her digestive system would not work as hard, since glucose is already small enough to get to her cells.

Explanation:

Nothing would happen to her ability to exercise, but her digestive system would not work as hard, since glucose is already small enough to get to her cells because there is no need for enzymes and the whole digestive system to digest the glucose , this is because glucose is the end product of carbohydrates digestion i.e it is breakdown into glucose which is in a form the body can easily absorb it to the cells.

Since the body can absorb it to the cells, it will supply her with the energy she needed easily and her ability to exercise will remain the same because when you exercise the body does not use energy from digestion rather it slows digestion and divert the blood to the muscles and lungs to exercise.

Chang knows one side of a triangle is 13 cm. Which set of two sides is possible for the lengths of the other two
densk [106]

Answer:

8 cm and 9 cm

Explanation:

To estimate the sides of triangle we must understand that any side of a triangle is greater than the differences between any two sides and also less than the sum of the two sides.

In this problem;

  One of the sides is 13cm;

    According to our theorem, this sides is less than the sum of the other two sides and greater than difference between the two sides.

 8 cm and 9 cm is the correct choice;

  if the other two sides are 8cm and 9cm;

     9cm - 8cm  = 1cm

      9cm + 8cm  = 17cm

13cm is in between them.
