What did Darwin call his theory?
Darwin called his theory "natural selection" or "survival of the fittest." It explains how species evolve and adapt to their environment over time through the process of natural selection.
What did scientists change the name of wegeners hypothesis to?
Scientists changed the name of Alfred Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift to the theory of plate tectonics. This shift occurred as a result of accumulating evidence and advancements in understanding the Earth's lithosphere, which is divided into tectonic plates that move and interact. Plate tectonics encompasses not only the movement of continents but also the mechanisms driving these movements, such as seafloor spreading and subduction.
The unique combination of cutting and double-backing is called?
The Quick Mix Theory
What is the idea that species originate through a gradual change of adaptations?
The theory of evolution by natural selection. Called gradualism.
What new evidence was didcovered that supported wegeners theory?
New evidence supporting Alfred Wegener's theory of continental drift includes the discovery of matching fossil patterns across continents, such as the presence of the Mesosaurus in both South America and Africa, which indicated that these continents were once connected. Additionally, advances in plate tectonics revealed the role of seafloor spreading, providing a mechanism for continental movement. Geological formations, such as mountain ranges and rock types, also showed similarities across continents, further reinforcing the idea that they were once joined. Finally, paleomagnetic studies demonstrated that continents had shifted over time, aligning with Wegener's hypothesis.
Why did other scientists not accept Alfred Wegeners theory?
why did other scientist not accpet Alfred Wegeners theory
Why was wegeners theory different?
rekmr
What evidence did Wegeners have to support his theory?
Fossils support his hypothesis.
Does the case of mesosaurus support wegeners theory of continental drift?
yes it does.
What did people think of Arthur wegeners theory of pangaea?
it makes sences
What is the theory that plates have moved apart over tmie?
Alfred Wegeners 1912 theory of Plate tectonics and continental drift.
Why were most scientists disagreeing with Alfred Wegeners continental drift theory?
There was no evidence to prove it
What is the name of the newer theory that replaced Wegeners theory?
In the 1960s, researchers discovered several mountain ranges on the ocean floor. These mountains suggested that the earth's crust consists of 20 slabs or plates. The discovered led to a new theory called "Plate Tectonics."
What three pieces of edivence for Wegeners theory can from the sea floor?
Plants,animals,and something else
Why didn't scientists believe Alfred wegeners theory abotu contintal drift?
because he was a fat battyboy
Wegeners hypothesis of continental drift was replaced in 1967 by which theory that supported his idea continents move?
plate tectonics
Why was wegeners theory of continental drift not accepted at first?
It was not excepted because they didn't believe him at all until it was proven!
