Why do you think it is so difficult for some people to accept the idea of continental drift?

Biology
1 answer:
valina [46]4 years ago
5 0
People tend not to believe/accept things they can't see proof of with their own eyes or things that lack scientific evidence.

Continental drift is something that spans hundreds of thousands of years. People don't live that long to be able to see the position of the continents and land changing over time. Also when Wegener proposed this theory, he couldn't explain how continental drift occurred, so lacking scientific evidence, many people did not believe him.<span />

---------------- is the finest material can be blasted more than 20 kilometers into the atmosphere and carried much farther down
Ghella [55]

Pyroclastic materials are classified according to their size, measured in milli meters: dust (less than 0.6 mm [0.02 inch]), ash (fragments between 0.6 and 2 mm [0.02 to 0.08 inch]), cinders (fragments between 2 and 64 mm [0.08 and 2.5 inches], also known as lapilli), blocks (angular fragments greater than 64 mm), and bombs (rounded fragments greater than 64 mm).

The fluid nature of a pyroclastic flow is maintained by the turbulence of its internal gases. Both the incandescent pyroclastic particles and the rolling clouds of dust that rise above them actively liberate more gas. The expansion of these gases accounts for the nearly frictionless character of the flow as well as its great mobility and destructive power.

Pyroclastic flow, in a volcanic eruption, a fluidized mixture of hot rock fragments, hot gases, and entrapped air that moves at high speed in thick, gray-to-black, turbulent clouds that hug the ground. The temperature of the volcanic gases can reach about 600 to 700 °C (1,100 to 1,300 °F). The velocity of a flow often exceeds 100 km (60 miles) per hour and may attain speeds as great as 160 km (100 miles) per hour.

barxatty [35]
<span>Sublimation. It's the same effect as evaporation but sublimation means it goes from a solid state (snow) to a gas state. This phenomenon can be seen in your freezer, when ice cubes evaporate the moving particles on the surface fly off to the environment just like in liquids.</span>
