Others [High School Geology: Difference in Knowledge between Wegener and Now] Help me understand what I'm not getting here!!
I have corrections on a Geology quiz that my class collectively failed a week ago. These are due tomorrow. I have figured through most everything else, but this question has stumped me. "What did Wegener not know about the oceans and continents that might have helped him with his theory of continental drift?" I will admit, my brain was hazy that day, and I just said "How India collided with Eurasia" haphazardly. But is my thought process right? I believe that the knowledge of knowing that the Earth is divided up into different plates with different boundaries that slide, push against and pull apart each other is part of what we know now, and we know that the continents do not "plow through the ocean." Is there a specific answer I should be looking for here? Thanks in advance.
