Which of the following was NOT an observation that supported the original continental drift hypothesis as posed by its originato
Over [174]

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

The continental drift hypothesis refers to the large scale, slow motion of continents over the surface of the large ocean basins and it was discovered by Mr. Alfred Wegener. He contributed some evidence regarding this continental drift hypothesis, such as the matching of the continental margins, finding similar fossils in distant continents, finding similar rock types as well as structures present in them. The movement of glaciers and their changing patterns were also observed to prove this theory.

But, of all the given options, one observation does not support the hypothesis, i.e. the lithosphere showing ductile nature in comparison to the brittle rock behavior in the layer of the asthenosphere.

In the brittle zone, the rocks fractures due to the force acting on it, whereas, in the ductile zone, the rocks tend to flow during the time of deformation.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

name two types of earthquake waves and explain how scientists use them to study Earth's interior???? PLZ HELP
sergey [27]
Maybe this willl hellp"
Seismic waves are sent through the earth during earthquakes, and those energy waves are what cause the ground to shake as they travel through it.Seismic waves travel at different speeds when they pass through different types of material, so by studying seismograms, scientists can learn a lot about Earth's internal structure.Body waves are seismic waves that travel through Earth's interior, or its 'body.' Surface waves are seismic waves that travel through Earth's surface.Surface waves are important, but they don't provide much information about what happens below the surface. For this, we need to study body waves so that we can see what Earth's 'body' is like.

There are two types of body waves, called P waves and S waves. P stands for primary waves because these waves travel the fastest and are detected first. S stands for secondary waves because these are slower than P waves, arriving second on the seismogram.
