(a)
which of the following belong to the plate tectonic theory?
The impact created an enormous “deep” that eventually filled with sediments and became the Ganges Plain.
Thick deposits of sediment formed on the seafloor, eventually becoming the layers of rock that form the geological features of the present day.
Westward drift of the Americas opened the Atlantic Ocean, and the Indian block drifted across the Equator to join with Asia.
The pacific Ocean plate drifted westward, scraping along the Eurasian plate and slipping under its coastal edge.
which of the following belongs to the theory of continental drift?
In 1912 Alfred Wegener proposed that throughout most geologic time there was only one continental mass, which he named Pangea
Geographically, it is compact and unified but having diverse culture and race.
During the next 120 million years, the drifting of the continents continued except for Europe which remained connected to Asia.
In 1937 the South African Alexander Du Toit modified Wegener’s hypothesis by suggesting the existence of two primordial continents.
which of the following belong to the Origin of Asia?
These rocks expanded rapidly so that by 2.6 billion years ago as much as 60 percent of the continental masses in existence today had formed, and the processes that permit continental drift had commenced.
The Earth is approximately 4.6 billion years old.
The crust of the Earth’s surface is made up of vast continental and oceanic plates.
The formation of the atmosphere is believed to have resulted from the release of the gases from volcanic eruptions.
During this time, sometimes referred to as the Hadean Eon, no atmosphere, ozone layer, continents, or oceans existed, and life could not be supported under such conditions.
(a) is a vast land mass which is connected to Europe
Which of the following belong to the Name of Asia?
The word Asia entered English via Latin from ancient Greek Asia.
This name was first attested in Herodotus (440BC) where it refers to Anatolia; or for the purposes of describing the Persian wars, to the Persian Empire, in contrast to Greece and Egypt.
Herodotus comments that he is puzzled as to why three women’s names are used to describe on land mass: Europa, Asia and Libya, (referring to Africa), stating that most Greek’s assumed that Asia was named after the wife of Prometheus but that the Lydians say it was named after Asians, son of Cotys who passed the name in to a tribe in Sardis.
Alternatively, the ultimate etymology of the term may be from the Akkadian word Asu, which means “to go out” or “to ascend”, referring to the direction of the sun at sunrise in the Middle East, and also likely connected with the Phoenician word asa meaning east.
North America shifted westwars while India collided with the southern tip of Asia; the scars of this collision are the Himalayan Mountains.
