Theory of Plate Tectonics as proposed by Wegener using the scientific method

Discuss the steps of the scientific method and how Wegener used the scientific method in theory development. Can you explain how the theory of plate tectonics, as proposed by Wegener, was developed following the scientific method?

Seamounts on a mid ocean ridge

I need to figure out the mathematical equation to figure out how far away a seamount is from the median valley of the spreading ridge of a mid ocean ridge. I have the distance of one seamount (200km) which is 10 million years old (at a depth of 4km from the ocean surface) and I need to figure out the distance of a seamount tha ...continues

What is the different in Sierra Nevada (CA) vs. Mount Mitchell (NC)

Both of this mountain are mountain belts - one is a folded mountain belt the other is a Igneous mountain belt. I need to know more facts about this two mountains. What make them alike and what make them different.

Determining movement of a fault.

A fault is observed in a road cut, but there are no obvious rocks units to correlate on either side of the fault to determine relative movement. How else might you determine or even infer whether the hanging wall has moved up or down relative to the footwall? (Think of fossils, tectonic setting, etc.)

The Mid Atlantic Ridge is found

1) The Mid Atlantic Ridge is found : a) near the middle of a continental plate. b) where two tectonic plates collide c) along divergent plate boundaries d) at a subduction zone e) associated with a hot spot. 2) The magnetic stripes from seafloor data recorded off the coast of Vancouver and Washington State: a) were cr ...continues
