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

How is crude oil brought to the surface
natta225 [31]
In some places, especially some new wells that have just been drilled,
the oil is under pressure, and it brings itself to the surface as soon as
you drill a 'pipe' for it to rise through.

In most oil wells, there's a pump bobbing up and down day and night,
pumping the oil up out of the well.

When the well is so old that even a pump isn't very effective, water is
often forced down the well under pressure, and the water forces the
oil back up through the pipe.
