Countries such as Spain‚ Portugal‚ Britain or France explored for three main reasons. These reasons were god‚ glory‚ and gold. Spreading religion was an important part in colonizing countries because most imperialistic countries wanted to assimilate other countries. Returning home‚ the explorers would share their experiences and how they gained power‚ to become looked up to. This made them feel glorious. Resources were a huge motivation of exploring as well. Gold was a big part of this because it

Updated Version of Theory of Rumor Rumors have been around ever since the beginning of time. I did some research and I found the very first rumor in the Bible ’s book of Genesis‚ when the serpent approached Eve and said: "Did God really say‚ you must not eat from tree of knowledge in the garden?" And the serpent went on to say: "You shall not surely die‚ for God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened‚ and you will be like God knowing good and evil "( The Holy Bible Genesis

Discuss the evidence for tectonic plate movement There has been a variety of different evidence for tectonic plate movement but the main evidence was Wegener’s theory which was based on a variety of different evidence from several sciences. Alfred Lothar Weneger was a German polar researcher‚ geophysicist and meteorologist‚ he first thought of this idea by noticing that the different large landmasses of the Earth almost fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. In 1912‚ he proposed his explanation – the

ridge because when new rocks form at the ridge‚ old rocks move away from the centre and this rocks stack along the end of sediments which pile up for long time that creates thick sediments‚! ! 10. How does sea floor spreading explain the movement of tectonic plates?! - Sea floor spreading in movement of tectonic plates is called divergent‚ the separation of two plate. This can be proved because magma comes out from the fault of ridge which means plate has open and it’s realising the magma. Other reason

1) How old is the oldest oceanic crust (Atlantic‚ Pacific‚ and Indian)? Atlantic Ocean: The oldest part of the Atlantic Ocean is near the North American and African Coasts. They are approx 180 million years old. Pacific Ocean: The oldest oceanic crust in the Pacific Ocean is closest to Japan. It is approx 155-180 million years old. Indian Ocean: The oldest oceanic crust in the Indian Ocean is to the west of Australia. It is approx 140-160 years old. 2)

divergent boundary is the mid Atlantic ridge‚ the 10‚000 mile unseen mountain range that dominates as the longest of them all‚ making the Atlantic Ocean continually bigger‚ since the Triassic period. This boundary has proven the existence of sea floor spreading‚ as Harry Hess was studying the ocean floor and found the crust’s ridges having newer rock at the middle of the ridge. Scientists are currently studying this ridge in Iceland‚ where the boundary runs right in the middle of the

(Eyjafjallajökull in Iceland) and characteristic basalt “pillow lava” in underwater eruptions. In this way‚ as the plates move further apart new ocean lithosphere is formed at the ridge and the ocean basin gets wider. This process is known as “sea floor spreading” and results in a symmetrical alignment of the rocks of the ocean floor which get older with distance from the ridge crest. Evidence for this process comes from the magnetic properties of the erupted basalt. The Earth’s magnetic field has been

Continental drift is a theory stating that the Earth’s continents have been joined together and have moved away from each other at different times in the Earth’s history. The theory was first proposed by Alfred Wegener in 1912. Whilst his general idea of continental movement eventually became widely accepted‚ his explanation for the mechanism of the movement has been supplanted by the theory of plant tectonics. However there was a problem in accepting this idea originally because Wegener had no convincing

The development of the theory of plate tectonics from Continental Drift to the present The theory of continental drift first came to be in 1915 when Alfred Wegener first proposed his belief that 300 billion years ago there was one single supercontinent‚ Pangaea. At the time‚ most did not believe it was true as he had no proof or idea of how the masses of land would move. However‚ new evidence was put forward over time that fit with Wegener’s beliefs. The first key piece of evidence is the shape
