Continental Plate theory. Originally seen as stupid and impossible by a german scientist, but soon adopted by most if not all scientists.
Armenians (they are in the Caucasus region, not Central Asia) differ from the people in Central Asia by origin, culture, folklore, language, alphabet, religion.
Armenians (94%) are Christians, followers of their own authentic Armenian Apostolic Church, while most of the Central Asians are Sunni Muslims, practice shamanism, and Buddhism (in Mongolia).
Armenians are an ethnicity native to the Caucasus region, closely related to Georgians, while most of the Central Asians have Turkic, Mongol and North Iranian ethnic background, the same also goes for he language, culture and folklore.
Armenians have unique alphabet used only by them, while the Central Asians use Latin and Cyrillic alphabets.
Answer:
Existing rocks join together under high heat and pressure.
Explanation:
There are three major groups of rocks, igneous rocks, metamorphic rocks, and sedimentary rocks. Each of them has their own unique way in which they form. The igneous rocks are the basis for the formation of the other two, and they form from magma/lava that has cooled off. The metamorphic rocks form from preexisting rocks, where deep into the crust they experience high pressure and temperatures and change their properties. Sedimentary rocks form from the breaking apart from the previous two types of rocks, and later merging together under the right conditions.
The metamorphic rocks can have igneous, sedimentary, or mixed origin. In order for these rocks to form they need to be deep into the crust where the pressure and temperatures are much higher. The high pressure and temperatures lead to the merging of different types of rcoks, change their properties, and create a new type of rock. This is one of the reasons why the metamorphic rocks often have multiple colors and they are alligned like layers.
Answer:
Alfred Wegener presented numerous observations in his Theory of Continental Drift, some of which are given as under.
Explanation:
- Wegener gave his continental drift theory as the founding stone in the history of the evolution of geologic time of the earth 1912, and suggested that there existed large landmasses on history of earth surface as in the form of Pangea, two major super landmasses, and Laurasia as the northern landmass which led to the formation of North America and Northern continents around the world.
- The southern landmasses consisted of Gondwana and included the southern parts of landmasses like South America, Africa and Antarctica along with Australia.
- The evidence that he gave where in the form of jigsaw fit amount the continents South America and the coastlines of Africa, the finding of same mountain chains and ranges around different parts of the world.
- The presence of various plants and animals like the lemures and glossopteris flora were found in the bottoms of the Atlantic ocean as they tended to move westwards.
- Another evidence he gave was the findings of similar climates around the world that were associated with the movement of plates and also gave importance to the ocean currents and movement of crust under the force of gravity.
