The theory of plate tectonics:

Biology
1 answer:
sertanlavr [38]3 years ago
6 0

A) .was immediately accepted

Explanation:

The theory of plate tectonics was immediately recognized as the explanation for the moving continents. It provided a more scientific background as why continents drift apart and the seafloor keeps spreading.

  • The theory explains that the earth is broken up into series of slabs called lithosphere which moves on the weak, ductile and fluid asthenosphere.
  • The movement of part of the earth mantle provided the mechanism through which the lithosphere moves. This is now known as the mantle convection.
  • This theory provided a scientific mechanism through which the plate moves and seafloor spreads.
  • It was immediately accepted when the theory was propounded by Alfred Holmes in the 1930s

Why are metals good conductors of electricity but covalent compounds are poor conductors
Nataly [62]
The electrons in the outermost shell of the covalent compounds are shared by nearby atoms. As there are no free electrons for conducting electricity, the covalent compounds are perfect insulators at absolute zero. As the temperature increases, some electrons move from valence band to conduction band. This gives rise to conductivity. But as the numbers of charge carriers are very low, covalent compounds are poor conductors. On the other hand metals are good conductors cause of their bonding. Metallic bonding consists of a sea of electrons rather than discreet bonds. The free electrons are able to move freely. Since electricity and heat need electrons to move, the bonding promotes conductivity.

It does not seem particularly surprising to us that we might find gill pouches, tails, or other such structures in humans. But w
Pavel [41]

Answer:

In the course of evolution mammals are the animals which are evolved recently as compared to other groups such as fish, amphibians, or reptiles.

In addition, fur or hairs on body, mammary glands, middle ear bone, warm-blood, et cetera are the characteristics of mammals.

These characteristics were evolved during the course of evolution; they were not present in ancestral organisms.

However, tail, gill pouches, et cetera are characteristics of our ancestral groups. Thus, characters can be sometimes observed in mammals.

But mammals characteristics can not be observed in organisms which were evolved before mammals such as fishes, amphibians, reptiles, et cetera.
