What is continental drift? The theory that continents move slowly over time Who came up with the theory of continental drift? Alfred Wegener What evidence supports Wegener's theory? Jigsaw fit of continents (particularly between the east coast of South America and west Africa). Identical fossils (the same plant and animal fossils found on distant land masses). Identical geology (exactly the same type and age of rocks on distant land masses). Glacial features (ice sheets have mo...

Carbon Dioxide - ANSWER CO2 Acidity (pH) - ANSWER Acidity is the measure of Hydrogen ions in a substance. ocean acidification - ANSWER decreasing pH of ocean waters due to absorption of excess atmospheric CO2 from the burning of fossil fuels fossil fuels - ANSWER Coal, oil, natural gas, and other fuels that are ancient remains of plants and animals. Ocean pH - ANSWER Changes with depth due to amount of CO2; deep water = more acidic Salinity - ANSWER A measure of the amount of diss...
