How was the theory of plate tectonics developed?

Physics
1 answer:
stepan [7]3 years ago
6 0
Answer: A conflict between established theory, and empirical evidence, resulting in compromise.



Explanation;

Plate tectonic theory had its beginnings in 1915 when Alfred Wegener proposed his theory of "continental drift." Wegener proposed that the continents plowed through crust of ocean basins, which would explain why the outlines of many coastlines look like they fit together like a puzzle.

In what direction does a large mass and small mass object move when affected by unbalanced forces?
zlopas [31]

Answer: An object's motion can be changed by unbalanced forces. Balanced forces do not change the motion of an object.

The motion of an object acted on by a force depends partly on the strength of the push or pull. The stronger the push or pull, the faster the object will move. For example, the father in the picture below is pushing his daughter in a swing. When he uses more force to push, the swing moves higher.

Which two vectors, when subtracted (i.e., when one vector is subtracted from the other), will have the largest magnitude?
FromTheMoon [43]

Given: Please see the attached image below.

 

To be able to subtract vectors, we can either use the parallelogram method or the triangle method. Take note that the only difference is that alternatively adding vectors A and B, we will instead be adding A and – B. When we ponder of vector subtraction, we must anticipate about it in terms of adding a negative vector. A negative vector has the same magnitude as the original vector, however, it has an opposite direction.

 

So in this problem, the two vectors that will have the largest magnitude are A & F when subtracted (i.e., when one vector is subtracted from the other).
