Answer :
Answer:
C. could not provide a mechanism for moving continents
Explanation:
Without the discovery of magnetic reversals recorded on the ocean floor, scientists could not provide a mechanism for moving continents.
Magnetic reversals are responsible for geological shifts and depend on the distribution of tectonic plates that causes movements of continents.
Asymmetric movement of tectonic plates leads to movement of continents and the degree of asymmetry varies with the same rythm of the magnetic reversal rate.
Hence, discovery of magnetic reversals are important to identify the mechanism for moving continents.
The study of a living being is called biology.
The correct answer is C.
Without the discovery of magnetic reversals recorded on the ocean floor, scientists could not provide a mechanism for moving continents because magnetic reversals are responsible for geological shifts and depend on the distribution of tectonic plates that causes movements of continents.
Asymmetric movement of tectonic plates leads to movement of continents and the degree of asymmetry varies with the same rhythm of the magnetic reversal rate. Therefore the discovery of magnetic reversals is important to identify the mechanism for moving continents.
Hence, the correct answer is C that it could not provide a mechanism for moving continents.
