Explain the scientific evidence that supports continental drift.

Biology
1 answer:
NikAS [45]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

- The geography of the continents (they fit each other, contain similar mountain ranges, etc)

- The distribution of fossils and rocks

- The locations of ancient climatic regions

Explanation:

The continental drift theory states that continents moved across geologic time, plowing through oceans and drifting to different parts of the planet. The continental drift theory is associated with Alfred Wegener, who the first in using this terminology in 1912. Some of the most important lines of evidence that support the continental drift theory are the movement of continents on tectonic plates, the presence of evolutionarily related plant and animal fossils in different continents, paleoclimate indicators (e.g., glacial striations), etc.

Ashfaq, is asked to explain the difference between a hypothesis theory and a scientific law which are terms used when discussing
kow [346]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

A hypothesis theory and a scientific law are starkly different terms. A hypothesis is at a stage where it is tested in a way that either proves it right or wrong. In the case that it is proved right, it goes on further to be replicated by a several other groups of scientists. If the results/conclusions come out to be correct again, it is known as scientific theory - a more detailed explanation for some phenomenon. Further on, this theory will achieve the status of a scientific law when it has been studied in sufficient detail to give a unifying concept about the phenomenon.

Explain how the number of chromosomes differ from Mitosis vs Meiosis
Softa [21]
When Mitosis occurs it is allowing more cells to be made with only the one organisms Chromosomes, meaning that you can have the full 23 pairs of chromosomes. However in the case of Meiosis, the data for the new cells have to be taken from more than one cells saved DNA so it will mix with the reproductive cells of the opposite sex.

15. Explain how each of the following creates electrical energy:
olga_2 [115]
Solar- technologies convert sunlight into electrical energy either through photovoltaic panels or through mirrors that concentrate solar radiation.

Hydro- a hydraulic turbine converts the energy of flowing water into mechanical energy. A hydroelectric generator converts this mechanical energy into electricity

Tidal- energy is a form of hydropower that works by harnessing the kinetic energy created from the rise and fall of ocean tides and currents, also called tidal flows, and turns into unusable electricity

Wind- turns the propeller like blades of a turbine around a rotor, which spins a generator, which creates electricity

OTEC- plants pump large quantities of deep cold seawater and surface seawater to run a power cycle and produce electricity

Biomass- is burned in a boiler to produce high-pressure steam. This steam flows over a series of turbine blades, causing them to rotate. The rotation of the turbine drives a generator, producing electricity

Geothermal- power plants use steam to produce electricity. The steam comes from reservoirs of hot water found a few miles or more below the earth’s surface. The steam rotates a turbine that activates a generator, which produces electricity
