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).
Answer:
Conventional sources of energy is also called non-renewable sources of energy while non conventional sources of energy is called renewable sources of energy.
An example of conventional energy is coal, crude oil and natural gas. The advantage is the availability and affordability. The disadvantage is the level of air pollutants such as CO2 and CO it releases to the atmosphere which is harmful as it poses a risk of air borne illnesses.
An example of non conventional energy is the sun, wind , water etc. The advantage is that it reduces the risk of air pollution and keeps the environment clean as no toxic substances are being released into the atmosphere when used. The disadvantage is they are expensive and aren’t available all year round.
Answer:
Surface waves have a longer duration and higher amplitude than body waves.
Explanation:
The stark difference between an earthquake body and surface waves is such that they have longer duration and a higher amplitude compared to body waves.
There are two categories of seismic waves that usually accompanies an earthquake:
- body waves are faster and perpetuate in the subsurface. They reach the seismic station first and are discovered faster.
- surface waves arrives later and they cause the damage produced by most earthquake waves. They perpetuate on the surface.
- surface waves are the love and Rayleigh waves
- body waves are the primary and secondary waves.
An important tool in understanding the actual numerical dates of past geologic events is radioactivity.
