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.

The effect of periodic changes in Earth’s orbital eccentricity and magnitude and direction (precession) of Earth’s axial tilt on

arlik [135]

Answer:

Milankovitch

Explanation:

Milankovitch was the scientists that proposed the theory about the Earth's cycles and how they affect the global climate. The cycles that Milankovitch suggested have been named Milankovitch cycles in his honor, and they are the most accepted theory about the global climate changes on Earth. There are three cycles according to this theory, eccentricity, axial tilt, and precession. All these three combined result in the changes we know as ice ages and global warming periods, with the ice ages being characterized by colder and drier weather, with the ice sheets spreading out significantly and the sea levels dropping, while the global warming periods are warmer and wetter, with the ice sheets being much smaller and the sea levels rising up.

What term describes the common process that occurs when a shoreline retreats as a result of erosion? g?

kobusy [5.1K]

This is called a natural processes. Erosion is a natural process which is typically made by rock and soil being slackened from the earth's surface at one location and moved to another. The force of gravity is a significant part of erosion and deposition. Gravity causes water to move downward, carrying and depositing sediment as it flows.

What can we NOT learn from the fossils found in rock strata? when a species became extinct the exact age of each individual foss

tatiyna

Explanation:

Fossils do tell a lot about Earth's past landscape. Age of rocks , species of animal in the past era, etc. But there are various aspects that they fail to answer. While fossils reveal what ancient living things looked like, they keep us guessing about their color, sounds, and most of their behavior. Fossils are very rare.The Fossil record is like a big jigsaw puzzle, with most of the pieces missing. Many species probably left no fossils at all.
