30
Was the Theory of Continental Drift Accepted?
No
Yes
31
Which type of plate boundary is represented by the picture?
Divergent

32
What's a topographic map?
A map that shows the inside of earth
The map that shows the lakes
A map that shows elevation

33
Why was the Theory of Continental Drift Rejected? (Slightly Hard Question)
Scientists back then disliked Alfred Wegner
No evidence that the continents were drifting
There was no evidence showing how they were moving
Wegner's evidence was not valid
34
How do scientists today explain the movement of tectonic plates?
When heat creates convection currents in the mantle
The spinning of the Earth gives them energy to move.
The are floating in the ocean and move randomly.
