'Permanentism' - Ans:✔✔-continents are fixed in position connected by land bridges which sink to create
oceans - could not be mobile
Frank Bursley Taylor 1910: 'Earth's plan' - Ans:✔✔-- Recognized that the mountains seen where because
of the continents moving
-Where continents drift as 'sheets' that are moved by tidal forces
Laurasia - Ans:✔✔-is the lower part of the Pangea
Matching rock types of the same age - Ans:✔✔-from one continent to another to reconstruct Pangea
which made sense of the fossil record on continents that are now far apart
a lot of negative responses to 'Continental Drift' - Ans:✔✔-Seen as a 'German fairy tale', 'poppysock',
'impossible'
The Earth's interior was too considered to be - Ans:✔✔-too stiff to allow continental drift
Arthur Holmes (1928) convection currents driving the drift of continents - Ans:✔✔-Was largely ignored
in north America
convection currents in hot plastic mantle - Ans:✔✔-arise instead of pulling the crust horizontally apart
