The earth's interior heat and pressure drive mantle convection. This is the power that drives plate tectonics, the main force behind earthquake and volcanic activity.

The correct answer is - plate tectonics.

The convection currents in the mantle, are having very high temperatures and very high pressures. Because of that, they managed to crack the crust, and thus divide the surface of the Earth in multiple peaces, or as we call them, tectonic plates. The very high pressure from bellow manages to push the tectonic plates in certain direction, and even though that movement is only a couple of cm per year, on the long term it has huge effects on everything on the planet.

The biggest objection to Wegener's continental drift hypothesis was _____.
Ann [662]

Answer:

a) there was no evidence to support it

Explanation:

Wegener noticed while looking at the maps that some parts of the continents, especially South America and Africa, seem to match up perfectly. This led him to think that maybe the continents in the past were actually connected, but because of some force they moved apart. He went out public with his hypothesis, but it was largely rejected, and he was laughed at and ridiculed, as the scientists thought that there's no force that can move the continents. Wegener didn't stop there, and he continued to look for clues, and finally managed to find some clues at the topography of the Atlantic Ocean. He noticed that the mid-ocean ridge is the highest, but as you move away from it, the sea mounds are becoming flatter and lower, thus a sign of erosion, and he actually turned out to be right.

The Piri Reis map was developed by an Ottoman admiral and cartographer.
Ugo [173]

Answer:

The correct response is that it accurately depicts Option D: the coasts of Western Europe and Africa.

Explanation:

The Piri Reis is a map dated about 1513 and it was developed by an admiral and cartographer of the same name, Peri Reis. It is significant because it shows a very early interest in world exploration but there are several inaccuracies evident. The southern tip of South America is not accurate nor is the coastline in North America except for what might be Newfoundland. The most accurate parts of the map are the coasts of Western Europe and North Africa, and the coastline of Brazil is also fairly accurate across the Atlantic.
