Similar fossils found on different continents helped geologists determine how the continents used to be connected. Mountain belts marked the boundaries of moving plates, which showed in which direction the different continents drifted. Extrapolating from this information, scientists had a rough idea of how the continents were arranged eons ago.
Answer: Gneiss is a type of metamorphic rock that forms when a sedimentary or igneous rock is exposed to extreme temperatures and pressure
Explanation:
Answer: water
For food digestion for humans we don’t use the sun, or warm temperatures, or transpiration.
We use water to help with digestions
Answer: water
Answer:
otayy, leo.
the oldest mountain, we can say its been around for a while now so it would make sense as to why it would be leo. since its been around the earth has changed and moved shifting plates etc, this takes time. making leos answer make more sense. again im not sure abt this response but this answer (leo) should be right
Answer: Mantle plumes, Continental rifts, island arcs, and Continental arcs
Explanation:
Mantle plume is the mechanism of convecting abnormally hot rocks within the Earth's mantle. The plume head partly melts on reaching shallow depths, the plume is often invoked as the cause of volcanic hotspots.
Continental rift refers to the belt of the continental lithosphere where the extensional deformation (rifting) is taking place. Continental rift zones have important consequences and geological features, and if the rifting is successful, leads to the formation of new ocean basins.
Island arcs are long chains of active volcanoes with intense seismic activity found along convergent tectonic plate boundaries. Most island arcs originate on oceanic crust and have resulted from the descent of the lithosphere into the mantle along the subduction zone. They are the principal way by which continental growth is achieved.
Continental arc is a type of volcanic arc occurring as an "arc-shape" topographic high region along a continental margin. The continental arc is formed where two tectonic plates meet, and where one plate has continental crust and the other plate has an oceanic crust along the line of plate convergence, and a subduction zone develops.
