HI SIR MART, CAN I ASK WHAT IS THE BASIS OF THE SCIENTIST IN DIVIDING THE EARTH'S LITHOSPHERE IN SEVERAL PLATES?
HI JOHN, THE DISTRIBUTION OF EARTHQUAKE EPICENTERS, LOCATION OF VOLCANOES, AND FORMATION OF MOUNTAIN RANGES.
Earthquake Epicenters are not randomly distributed on earth. They occur wherever two tectonic plates meet.
HOW ARE THE EATHQUAKE EPICENTER DISTRIBUTED?
Most volcanoes are found along a belt, called the “Ring of Fire” that encircles the Pacific Ocean. Some volcanoes, like those that form the Hawaiian Islands, occur in the interior of plates at areas called “hot spots.”
WHERE THE VOLCANOES LOCATED?
Mountains form where two continental plates collide. Since both plates have a similar thickness and weight, neither one will sink under the other.
HOW ARE THE MOUNTAIN RANGES FORMED?
MY LAST QUESTION SIR MART WHO DISCOVER THE CONTINENTAL DRIFT?
Alfred Wegener, The realization that Earth's land masses move was first proposed by Alfred Wegener, which he called continental drift.
THANKYOU VERY MUCH SIR JOHN FOR YOUR HELP.
YOUR WELCOME JOHN KEEP IT UP.
