Answer:

A geological event shifted the rocks

Explanation:

The rock layers have the natural tendency to layer up in horizontal manner, thus to be positioned one above the other. This actually means that the rock layers are sorted out by age, with the ones on the bottom being the oldest ones, and the ones on top the youngest ones. The Earth is not static though, and there's constant movements, geological activities, that disturb the rock layers. If there are geological activities that will push up and than move sideways the rock layers, the rock layers will appear to have vertical layers, not horizontal ones, thus giving a nice clue about how they came to be in that position.

1) How did seafloor spreading revive Alfred Wegener's ideas about continental drift?
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

1- Option (D)

2- FALSE

Explanation:

The seafloor spreading takes place because of the divergent plate motion. Alfred Wegener observed this motion of the seafloor and the continents but was not able to explain the main mechanism behind this until the new theory came into the picture. The divergent motion of seafloor and the motion of the continents were explained by the universally accepted theory known as the Plate tectonic theory. This theory was able to explain the mechanism behind this plate motion.  

The study of the seafloor spreading provided some pieces of evidence that supported the continental drift theory. They gave a basic idea about how the oceanic plate gets subducted (consumed) at the convergent plate motion that undergoes partial melting at greater depth. As a result of which the magma rises up to the surface on the overriding plates.

The crust represents the outermost layer of the earth. They are of 2 types, namely the oceanic and the continental crust. These crusts when slide past one another in a transform plate boundary, it is neither created nor destroyed. It remains conserved.

Thus, the correct answers are given above and the second statement is false.
