Through the perspective of geomorphology, geography is a science that has it focus on the origins and evelution of the topographic features and bathymetric features, that have been created under the influence of physical, chemical, or biologic processes that are operating on the Earth's surface, or near the Earth's surface.
It is a state with very little population and/or small land area
Answer: c. paleomagnetic data from ocean crust
Explanation:
Alfred Wegener was a German meteorologist and geophysicist, who in 1915 published his work <em>"The Origin of Continents and Oceans"</em> with a hypothesis that was radical for his time.
In this publication he proposed that during the end of the Paleozoic period and the beginning of the Mesozoic period the land masses were united in a single supercontinent, which he called <u>Pangea</u>, which was surrounded by a huge ocean, which he called <u>Panthalassa</u>. As proof of this, he was based on the way in which the coasts of Africa and South America seemed to fit on each side of the Atlantic Ocean, as if it were a puzzle. In addition to <u>the distribution of certain geological formations, native flora and fauna and the fossils found in the northern continents and places currently geographically far from each other. </u>
At the time, this idea was not accepted and Wegener was ridiculed by the scientific community, because despite its evidence, in its publication did not explain how those land masses moved.
Years later, in the decade of 1960, the theory of plate tectonics related to the movement of the continents according to the paleomagnetic evidence was developed and it was shown that Wegener was right.
Im going to guess that you are asking why sea levels are rising??
The rising in sea levels is due to climate change. By burning fossil fuels such as coal or oil we produce green house gasses such as carbon dioxide which are causing the climate to become warmer. This is resulting in warmer seas and warmer winters meaning glaciers and huge amounts of snow and ice are melting. It is the melting of these that is causing a rise in sea levels.
