Tectonic Activity :: Papers
Tectonic Activity The continents of the world are all separated by different tectonic musical scales which when collide is called Tectonic Activity. on that point are different forms of tectonic activity and different processes and landforms, which are involved during and as a result of the collisions. As and when these collisions are going to take prat we cant determine because current technology hasnt allowed us to dig as far into the solid ground to the point of pressures which causes the plates to collide. These pressures are believed to be eruptions of liquid magma deep inside the earth. The plate tectonic theory was first proposed in 1915 by a man named Alfred Wegener, who was one of the first to identify that the continents of earth look like they fit unitedly in a jig saw puzzle, but what separates him is the fact he suggested that the earth had separat ed over a period of time, introducing the future theory of plates. As Wegener had no explanation of why the earths crust had separated many geologists turned against his ideas, these people were called anti-mobilists. The only evidence that was proved to help Wegeners theory was that palaeontologists had found fossils of interchangeable species on different continents, which suggests that the same species were once on the same area of land with the only explanation being that they had been separated by the motion of land. As years passed more and more evidence was uncovered to support the idea of plates move constantly over time. After the Second World War seismometers were installed into the earth and showed that
