The theory of continental drift was originally proposed in 1912 by the German meteorologist and geophysicist Alfred Wegener (1880-1930), who formulated it based, among other things, on the way in which the shapes of the continents on each side of the Atlantic Ocean like Africa and South America seemed to fit, what Benjamin Franklin and others had already noticed. It also took into account the distribution of certain geological formations and the fossil record of the northern continents, which stated that they could have shared floras and faunas in earlier geological times. With these data, Wegener calculated that the set of current continents were united in a remote past of the Earth, forming a supercontinent, called Pangea, which means "the whole earth" in Greek. This approach was initially ruled out by most of his colleagues, since his theory lacked a mechanism to explain the drift of the continents. In his original thesis, he proposed that the continents move on another denser layer of the Earth, which formed the ocean floor and that extended beneath them, in the same way that a carpet is moved. However, the enormous force of friction involved motivated the rejection of Wegener's explanation and the suspension, as an interesting but not proven hypothesis, of the idea of continental displacement. In synthesis, the continental drift is the slow and continuous displacement of the continental masses.
1.) similar fossils were found on different continents. 2.)the continents seemed to fit together; they were like a spread apart puzzle. 3.)geographical features and mountain ranges lined up with the same rock composition 4.)glacier grooves in rocks led him to trace them out to where they started :)
A decrease in GFR will cause lower Na and Cl ion concentration in the distal tubule
GFR stands for Glomerular Filtration Rate
The rate at which kidneys filter blood is called the glomerular filtration rate
The main driving force for the filtering process, or outward pressure is the blood pressure as it enters the glomerulus which is counteracted to some extent by inward pressure due to the hydrostatic pressure of the fluid within the urinary space, and the pressure generated by the proteins left in the capillaries that tend to pull water back into the circulatory system (colloidal osmotic pressure)
The net filtration pressure is the outward pressure minus the inward pressure
Plants,because in a plant there are little roots just like capillaries in a humans body which push water and nutrients like how our capillaries push blood through our veins which pushes it up through the rest of the plant just like how our veins and capillaries push blood through or body .
