Describe two pieces of evidence that supports the Theory of Plate Tectonics. use diagrams where possible

Respuesta :

1. Alfred Wegener found the same species on west of africa and east of south america.

2. Mountains are formed through convergent boundaries.


Answer:

Following are two pieces of evidence of the plate tectonics:

  • The moving of the Indian plate below the Eurasian plate and causing the Himalayas to rise.
  • The similarity in features found on the eastern coasts of Africa and the western coasts of India.

Explanation:

  • According to Alfred Wegener, the one who proposed the 'continental drift theory', it is evident from the similarity in the physical attributes of a few mountain chains that they were 'once part of the same continent'.
  • Other than that, the findings of identical minerals in various mountain chains also support the authenticity of the plate tectonics or the 'continental drift theory'.
