Answer:

Alfred Wegener

Explanation: Continental drift was a theory that explained how continents shift position on Earth's surface. Set forth in 1912 by Alfred Wegener, a geophysicist and meteorologist, continental drift also explained why look-alike animal and plant fossils, and similar rock formations, are found on different continents. Though most of Wegener's observations about fossils and rocks were correct, he was outlandishly wrong on a couple of key points. For instance, Wegener thought the continents might have plowed through the ocean crust like icebreakers smashing through ice.

Answer:

The illumination on the book before the lamp is moved is 9 times the illumination after the lamp is moved.

Explanation:

The distance of the book before the lamp is moved, $d_{b} = 30 cm$

The distance of the book after the lamp is moved, $d_{a} = 90 cm$

Illumination can be given by the formula, $E = \frac{P}{4 \pi d^{2} }$

Illumination before the lamp is moved, $E_{b} = \frac{P}{4 \pi d_{b} ^{2} }$

Illumination after the lamp is moved, $E_{a} = \frac{P}{4 \pi d_{a} ^{2} }$

$\frac{E_{a}}{E_{b}} } = \frac{\frac{P}{4 \pi d_{a} ^{2} } }{\frac{P}{4 \pi d_{b} ^{2} } }$

$\frac{E_{a} }{E_{b} } = \frac{d_{b} ^{2} }{d_{a} ^{2}} \\\frac{E_{a} }{E_{b} } = \frac{30^{2} }{90 ^{2}}\\\frac{E_{a} }{E_{b} } =\frac{900 }{8100}\\\frac{E_{a} }{E_{b} } =\frac{1 }{9}$
