What do continental drift and seafloor spreading have in common?
Continental drift and seafloor spreading are both processes involved in plate tectonics. Continental drift refers to the movement of the Earth's continents across the surface, while seafloor spreading occurs at mid-ocean ridges where new oceanic crust is formed as tectonic plates pull apart. Both processes are key components of the theory of plate tectonics, explaining how the Earth's lithosphere is divided into rigid plates that move and interact with each other.
What are three things that wegener used to develop his theory of continental drift?
Wegener used evidence from fossils, rock formations, and the fit of the continents as key components to develop his theory of continental drift. By studying these factors, he proposed the idea that all continents were once part of a single supercontinent called Pangaea.

Why was wegener's theory not widely accepted?
Wegener's theory of continental drift was initially not widely accepted due to a lack of a plausible mechanism to explain how continents could move across the Earth's surface. His idea challenged established geological beliefs and was met with skepticism from many scientists. Additionally, the evidence he presented, such as fossil distribution and geological similarities, was not convincing enough to overcome the prevailing notions of fixed continents. It wasn't until the development of plate tectonics in the mid-20th century that his ideas gained the recognition they deserved.
What are the two types of genetic drift?
There are two types of genetic drift, there is a the population bottle neck effect and the founder effect. The population bottle neck effect is when a population greatly decreases in size due to some random ecological event and the small population has a greater chance of genetic variation. The founder effect is a variation of the bottle neck effect in which a small portion of a larger population to branch off or get "isolated" from the larger population and have a greater chance of genetic variation.

Second Hand cigarette smoke drifting into hallway and to your apartment?
Letter to Management
While you may not be able to stop a person from smoking in their apartment, for example, you may be able to get them to agree to smoke near an open window. The person living in apartment has made no effort to stop the cigarette smoke drifting to the hallway; as a matter of fact she is taking grudge against us and pushing more smoke deliberately in the hallway, her attitude and state of affairs possess a great danger to my family. Our suggestion of putting a towel or slide on door which is available at Lowe's on that person's bottom door is ignored.
Property managers must be aware of the various legal protections afforded nonsmokers and the legal remedies that can be pursued by someone who is being impacted by secondhand smoke, that there are law's else where in condominiums through-out United States where neighbor's smoking was trespass, a nuisance, and violated our right to quiet enjoyment.
We would like you to remind apartment person through Management about various organizations we can pursue this matter such as
For local enforcement of health and tobacco-control laws(http://www.njgasp.org)
New Jersey Department of Health (www.state.nj.us/health)
http://ash.org (Action on Smoking and Health)

What is the bureaucratic drift?
When policy is implemented, due to the discretion of agencies in the implementation of policy, it can slip away from what voter's might want in the direction of what the bureaucracy wants (to an extent). This movement of policy in the direction of the bureaucracy's discretion is called "bureaucratic drift".
Drifting is driving technique where the driver?
Intentionally oversteers, causing lost traction in the rear wheels in turns while keeping vehicle control.
Who helped to support Alfred Wegener's theory of continental drift?
Several lines of evidence supported Alfred Wegener's theory of continental drift, including matching coastlines, similar rock formations, and identical plant and animal fossils found on different continents. Additionally, the discovery of mid-ocean ridges and magnetic striping on the sea floor provided further evidence for plate tectonics, which became the modern framework for Wegener's original idea.

What kinds of populations are affected by genetic drift?
Genetic drift occurs in all finite populations. However the effects of drift are more pronounced in smaller populations than in large ones.
Meanwhile, even though they are more present in smaller populations, the drifting is more likely to occur in larger populations because of the larger number of different genetic combinations present. Throughout evolution of populations, genetic drifting effects all types of population sizes, though it is more likely in larger populations but more present in smaller populations.
Mutations. Exposure to radiation, certain chemicals, and viral infections all increase mutation rates.
What will prevent genetic drift?
Genetic drift or allelic drift is the change in the frequency of a gene variant (allele) in a population due to random sampling.[1] The alleles in the offspring are a sample of those in the parents, and chance has a role in determining whether a given individual survives and reproduces. A population's allele frequency is the fraction of the copies of one gene that share a particular form.[2] Genetic drift may cause gene variants to disappear completely and thereby reduce genetic variation.
When there are few copies of an allele, the effect of genetic drift is larger, and when there are many copies the effect is smaller. Vigorous debates occurred over the relative importance of natural selection versus neutral processes, including genetic drift. Ronald Fisher held the view that genetic drift plays at the most a minor role in evolution, and this remained the dominant view for several decades. In 1968 Motoo Kimura rekindled the debate with his neutral theory of molecular evolution, which claims that most instances where a genetic change spreads across a population (although not necessarily changes in phenotypes) are caused by genetic drift.
Are there any car drifting schools in Texas?
YES! Yes there are, you can contact Aaron Losey at www.fabricatedmotorsports.com for amatuer drift events that are put on in the Ft. Worth area (more specifically Mineral Wells, TX). If you can afford private lessons you can visit www.a2racing.com and setup your own private drifting lessons on a private road course from a seasoned pro drifter that's done years of manufacturer sponsored pro-drifting, and stunt driving.

What education is needed to become a drift racer?
Unfortunately, some kids who show potential as amateurs are often "home schooled" or drop out of school altogether. Even more so than in other professional sports, very few ever make a living racing dirt bikes. Just look at the current top 10 in American MX. Four of them aren't Americans. The 50th fastest guy in the US would make more money selling shoes. Think about it, only 49 guys in the whole country (and less than 100 in the world) are faster than this guy, and he makes less than fifty thousand a year!
I know it's hard when you're young to be realistic about the future, especially when you have a dream, but you should learn all that you can about as many things as you can just in case the Pro MX thing doesn't work out. It is possible to do both (school and MX). A racer with an education is much more valuable to teams and sponsors than just some "dummy" who only knows one thing. If you have a dream, that's great! Don't give up because it's hard. Anything worthwhile (racing and school) is going to be hard. Go to a Supercross or an Outdoor National and watch the guys racing for 20th place. That's your target. The guys behind them aren't making any money that day. The reason I can speak about these things is that I'm the father of a former Pro MX racer. Good luck to you.

Why did people not believe the continental drift theory when Alfred wagener first explained it?
When Alfred Wegener first proposed the continental drift theory in the early 20th century, it was met with skepticism because he did not have a mechanism to explain how the continents moved. Additionally, Wegener's idea challenged long-established geological theories and faced resistance from scientists who were reluctant to accept a new paradigm. It wasn't until the development of the theory of plate tectonics in the 1960s that Wegener's ideas gained widespread acceptance.
