What is the magnetic evidence for polar wandering?

Magnetic evidence for polar wandering is primarily derived from the study of paleomagnetism, which analyzes the orientation of magnetic minerals in rocks. As these minerals align with the Earth's magnetic field at the time of their formation, they preserve a record of the Earth's magnetic polarity and latitude. Over geological time, changes in the positions of continents lead to discrepancies between the expected magnetic orientation (based on current pole positions) and the recorded orientation in ancient rocks, indicating that the magnetic poles have shifted relative to the continents. This phenomenon supports the theory of continental drift and illustrates the dynamic nature of the Earth's magnetic field.


How polar wandering contributes to the acceptance of the plate tectonic theory?

The north pole isn't subject to wandering - it's just ocean and ice - but there is a land mass at the south pole, and it wasn't always in that location. It is among the moving land masses which demonstrate that crustal plates do float on the magma of the mantle and slowly move. Investigations of Antarctica show evidence that it was at one time quite warm.


What is world climatic zones?

The world can be divided into several climatic zones based on factors such as temperature, precipitation, and vegetation. These zones include tropical, dry, temperate, continental, and polar climates. Each zone has distinct characteristics that influence the type of weather experienced in that region.


What is polar displacement?

Polar displacement. I think what your referring to if we are talking in a geological sense is actually called polar wandering and it is the apparent movement of the north and south poles over geological time however the poles are actually not the objects moving it is the continental landmasses under plate tectonics moving the land under the poles. The poles do move slightly before they reverse however plate tectonics is the main cause of polar wandering.
