Answer the assignment questions using the World Geology map in this lesson and/or the earth's lithospheric plates map in the ass

ignment document. You can also do an Internet keyword search for U.S. Geological Survey Plates of the Earth Map to find some really good images that can be used as a reference for this assignment.
1. Wegener formed the theory of continental drift in 1912. What prevented research of the ocean floor, paleomagnetism, and earthquakes at that time?

2. If many different observations can all be explained by the same theory, does that make the theory true? Does it make the theory more likely? Explain your answer.

3. What evidence is there to suggest that the Earth is composed of tectonic plates?

4. What evidence is there to suggest that tectonic plates move?

5. Select Topography and Major Plates on the World Geology map. Describe the topography at the boundaries between the following pairs of plates: South American and Nazca, Indian and Eurasian, and Pacific and North American.

6. Observe the border between the Indian plate and the Somali plate. Do you see the same landforms as at the boundary between the Indian plate and the Eurasian plate? Explain.

7. Select Earthquakes and Major Plates on the World Geology map and observe earthquake activity around the South American plate. Based on your observations, what can you conclude about lithospheric motion of the South American plate with the Nazca plate and the African plate? Explain your answer.

8. How certain do you feel that the theory of plate tectonics is correct? What evidence would you use to support your opinion?

Which is a valid velocity reading for an object?
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

45 m / s North is a valid vector reading for an object.

Explanation:

Then velocity will be defined by x km / hr North. And, magnitude of velocity defines the speed of the body. Although this tells the speed, but there is no description for the direction, so it's not a vector reading

The monkey experiment is an example of what?
Semenov [28]

Answer:

D.) Sensory adaptation

Explanation:

Assuming you are talking about the cloth and metal monkey experiment performed in the field of psychology (not physics), the monkey formed an attachment to the cloth mother because it felt closer to it, as it was more appealing to its senses.

The students observe that the pitches of the sounds from the fire truck and the
Blababa [14]

So, option 3 or the ambulance sound waves have more waves and shorter wavelength is the correct reason for ambulance siren having higher pitch compared to fire truck siren

Explanation:

Pitch of any sound wave is determined as the clarity in frequency of notes or the number of times a cycle is repeated for a single second. So pitch is similar to frequency. And frequency is the measure of number of complete cycles in a second. So if the ambulance siren has higher pitch compared to siren of fire truck. Then this means the frequency of ambulance siren is greater than the fire truck siren. As the frequency is more, then from the given options, choice 3 is correct. The ambulance siren have more waves and shorter wavelength. As more the frequency or number of waves, lesser or shorter is the wavelength of sound wave from ambulance.
