Geography

Answer:

The Hawaiian Islands were formed by such a hot spot occurring in the middle of the Pacific Plate. While the hot spot itself is fixed, the plate is moving. So, as the plate moved over the hot spot, the string of islands that make up the Hawaiian Island chain were formed.

On the Earth's outer crust, there are plates of rock that move called tectonic plates. When the Earth's tectonic plates come together, they form volcanoes. The islands of Hawaii actually sit in the middle of the Pacific Plate on a hot spot.

A hot spot is an area that is so warm that magma, or lava that sits inside of the rocks in a volcano, erupts and falls to the bottom of the ocean. Since Hawaii is located on a hot spot, it is very common for volcanoes to form and erupt there.

Over millions of years, five volcanoes erupted to create the eight islands of Hawaii. These volcanoes are Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, Hualalai, Kilauea, and Kohala.

Which statements describe Wegener’s ideas that became known as the theory of continental drift? Check all that apply.
yarga [219]

Answer:

Options (1), (2) and (3)

Explanation:

Alfred Wegener was the person who first invented the continental drift theory.  He observed that the continents move from one place to another with respect to a fixed point. He put forward many pieces of evidence but he was unable to explain the main mechanism that is responsible for these motion of continents.

The pieces of evidence that were given by Alfred Wegener supporting the continental drift theory are-

(a) The continents move slowly and continuously from one place to another and the edges of these continents perfectly match with the other.

(b) Similar fossil assemblages were found in currently separated continents.

(c) Similar rock types are also found and suggested that the continents were once all together forming a huge landmass which is known as the Pangaea.

Later this theory was modified into a more simple and universally accepted theory which is commonly known as the Plate tectonic theory.

Hence, the correct answers are options (1), (2) and (3).
