Answer:

A. Gravity

C. 0.2meters per day

Explanation:

1. the answer to this first question is gravity. Gravity is what causes the movement of glaciers; the ice would flow slowly and it would deform as it responds to gravity. therefore the answer here is a.

2. average separation distance of pipe = 300 meters

elapsed time = 1500 days

the average velocity of the glaciers would be

300 meters/1500 days

= 0.2 meters per day.

therefore the answer is c

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

<u>Wegener gave many evidence to the theory of plate tectonics another piece of evidence was the finding of fossils of reptiles in oceans and glossiperious fauna and the similarity of glaciers in all continents</u>

Explanation:

  • Alfred Wegener is supposed to believe that the supercontinent named Pangaea consisting of northern continents and the southern continent i.e Gondwanaland consisting of southern continents were once the same.
  • Thus he gave evidence in the shape of puzzle-like fit of the continents as similarity of rocks found in the continent's of Africa and South America, as they were one earlier.  
  • Further, he gave the supporting pieces of evidence as the glacier landmasses distributed were the same part earlier drifted away from the larger continent of Greenland.
  • The supporting evidence the put forth was the polar wandering forces that he called the flight from poles and drift under the impact of moons gravity and another evidence was the thin sheets or plate moved away due to the wind.
