Answer:
There is an attractive force call gravity
Explanation:
The reason the moon's inertia doesn't make it continue in a straight line is due to the attractive force of gravity and the reason the moon and earth's gravity doesn't make them collide with each other is due to the moon's inertia. To understand this phenomenon imagine that you have a ball tied to a rope, you keep the rope with one hand and with the other you push the ball so it can move freely; the ball, like the moon, has velocity, but the ball can not move in a straight line because the rope doesn't allow it, in our hypothetical scenario the rope is like the gravity that traps the ball in an 'endless' circle.
Note: The rope and the ball are a hypothetical case, it helps us imagine the phenomena but the forces involved are different than in the case of the moon.
Answer:
The limestone found at the top of Mount Everest was formed in an ocean
Explanation:
The Himalayan Mountain Range, thus its highest peak Mount Everest as well, have been formed as a result of the collision between the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates. The Indian plate, once it separated from Gondwanaland, started to move toward Eurasia. As it was getting closer, the plates started to push against each other. Since the boundary has been in the ocean, the ocean floor started to lift up first because of the immense pressure. As the plates continued to push against each other, the surrounding area was gradually pushed up, so what was once an ocean floor and lowlands was slowly becoming a mountain range. This resulted in limestone rocks that were formed in the ocean to be moved up for several kilometers and to become part of the highest mountain range in the world, providing us with another good proof of the continental drift theory.
Hydrogen, helium, and nuclear fusion
Answer:
d. clear evidence of land bridges, like the one connecting Alaska and eastern Russia, clearly exist and explain most of Wegner's observations without Continental Drift.
Explanation:
The correct answer for the given question is d. clear evidence of land bridges, like the one connecting Alaska and eastern Russia, clearly exist and explain most of Wegner's observations without Continental Drift.
The main objection to Wegener's hypothesis was his inability to identify a credible mechanism for continental drift.
Harold Jeffery pointed out that Wegener's proposition of the gravitational forces was not correct and that instead of breaking up land it would have brought Earth's rotation to halt in a matter of years.
