The first reason was that his theory of continental drift was just too weak for most geologists to accept. Even though he believed the supercontinent that broke up into different continents moved, he did not have a clear explanation to how the continents moved. The other reason is that some of his explanation clashed with ideas that were widely accepted in the science communities. He used similar fossils from different continents to back up his theory of continental drift. However, at that time, many scientists that had observed similarities in fossils in places like South America and Africa believed there were similar fossils in different continents because of a land bridge that were formed by two continents.
Many science communities believe that land bridges allowed migration of many different species and even people to one place to another by large bodies of water frozen by low temperature known as ice age.
The answer would be a. Energy stored in chemical bonds :)
Answer: c. alluvial fan.
A wide sloping deposit of sediment formed where a stream leaves a mountain range is called an alluvial fan. An alluvial fan is the deposition of sediment on a landform like mountain. It forms as an open fan or cone of sediment. The sediments are left by natural drainage system like river on the landform.
There are two types of alluvial fans.
1. Debris dominated: These includes viscous mixture of water, mud, gravel along with woody debris. This transfer large boulders of landform soil.
2. Floodwater dominated: Water will spill in the alluvial fan in the form of thin sheets. This can transfer fine particles of landform soil.
