1. Wegener suggested the idea of continental drift and the existence of an original super-continent, Pangaea.
2. Scientists began to think that the continents were parts of
larger plates, based on information about the mid-ocean ridges and earthquakes.
3. Suess suggested the idea that the Earth’s continents were originally two larger continents, Laurasia and Gondwanaland.
4. Paleomagnetism in ocean rocks provided proof for seafloor spreading, convincing many scientists of the validity of the theory of plate tectonics.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Option (1)
Explanation:
The Taconic Mountains are located in the eastern side of New York City which was formed due to the sharing of a convergent type of plate boundary between the North American plate and a volcanic island arc which resembles the state of Taiwan. The ridge of this mountain at certain places is comprised of tilted sandstone and conglomerate rocks and also there is the presence of metamorphosed rock layers.
This mountain was formed about 450 million years back, during the time of Ordovician.
Thus, the correct answer is option (1).
