Hypothesis that the continents have moved slowly to their current locations?
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
The theories of continental drift and plate tectonics. These are relatively new ideas; when I was young, they were still fairly controversial. But as the evidence has accumulated, most people have become convinced that these are valid explanations of how things came to be as they are.
Just remember that the next time somebody says that something is "settled science"; the science of any discipline is NEVER settled.

Summarize the ways that fossils helped support the hypothesis of continental drift?
The scientists that found the fossils found that were found on different continents. Some of the same fossil were located on each Continent that could only survive in one climate. Therefore, a fossil provided some evidence for the continental drift to be true.
What two processes help continents grow?
* Magmatism creates new crust along continental margins and as island arcs such as with the subduction of the Juan de Fuca plate under the North American plate continues to add material to the crust in the Cascade Range. * Accretion of pieces of crust such as island arcs and sea mounts with existing large continents. As plate movements subduct plates, the subducted plates bring with it land masses that if sufficiently buoyant can collide and merge with the larger continent.

What is an hypothesis for cutting an apple?
Hypothesis 1: When you disturb the skin of an apple by cutting the apple into half, the exposed area will turn brown due to exposure to air.Hypothesis 2: If you snugly wrap or cover the exposed area of an apple after cutting it (disturbing the skin), you can slow down how fast the inside turns brown. Hypothesis 3: If you remove all of the skin of an apple and let it sit in the air, the outside will turn brown but the inside will not turn brown at the same rate. Hypothesis 4: If you remove all the skin of an apple AND slice the whole apple into pieces, all sides exposed to air will turn brown; if some slices are thicker, the inside will turn brown more slowly than the exposed outside areas.
If You wrap a wire around a piece of iron. If you slowly increase the strength of an electric current flowing through the wire you would expect .?
The temperature of the wire will increase and eventually like the "straw breaking the camel's back" the wire will fail if you apply enough current. It is like exceeding the current in a fuse, the wire essentially disintegrates.
