What else can I help you with?
What decade was the Continental Drift Theory accepted by the scientific community because of the Plate Tectonics?
lol
Which scientists work provided evidence of moving continents making the continental drift theory accepted by the scientific community?
Henry Hess
What was the continental drift theory replaced by in 1967?
The continental drift theory was replaced by the theory of plate tectonics.
What theory replaced Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift?
I think that continetal drift replaced his theory
What 2 factors led to the discontinuance of the theory of the continental drift?
Two main factors that led to the discontinuance of the theory of continental drift were the lack of a plausible mechanism to explain how continents could move and the rejection of continental drift by the majority of the scientific community at the time. Additionally, the theory faced significant opposition from influential geologists who favored alternative explanations for the geologic features observed.
Why is the continental drift theory a theory and not a scientific law?
The Continental Drift theory is a theory because there is no evidence to support it. Alfred Wegener developed the Continental Drift theory in the 1800's.
What is a sentence using scientific theory?
The scientific theory of continental drift was not immediately accepted by geologists.
What best describes the difference between a scientific hypothesis and a scientific theory?
A hypothesis requires confirmation to advance to the status of theory.
What decade was the Continental Drift Theory accepted by the scientific community because of the Plate Tectonics?
lol
What is the nature of sciences hypothesis?
A scientific hypothesis could be described as a reasonable guess. If it checks out, it can be promoted to the status of a scientific theory.
What was Wegners major contribution to scientific knowledge?
Wegner was the man who established the theory of "continental drift" in 1912
What theory of continental placement was being discussed during the time Wegener introduced his Pangea theory?
The Theory being discussed was "The Conrtaction Theory".
What theory of continental placement was being discussed during the time Wegener introduced his Pangaea theory?
the contractions
What theory of the continental placement was being discussed during the time wegener introduced his Pangaea theory?
the contractions
Why did Alfred wegener died?
Alfred Wegener died during a scientific expedition to Greenland in 1930. He likely died of a heart attack while out in the field. His death was a tragic loss to the scientific community, as he was a pioneer in the development of the theory of continental drift.
What made the scientific community accept wegener's theory years later?
Alfred Wegener was the proponent of the Continental Drift Theory. The scientific community accepted this theory due to the phenomena of paleomagnetism, sea floor spreading and plate tectonics.
Who developed the five-step scientific theory during the Scientific Revolution?
Francis Bacon.
