Question
which concept did alfred wegener introduce that later influenced the theory of plate tectonics? subduction magnetic reversals continental drift seafloor spreading question 10
Alfred Wegener introduced the concept of continental drift. This idea proposed that continents were once joined together in a single supercontinent (Pangaea) and have since drifted apart. This concept was a precursor to the theory of plate tectonics. Subduction, magnetic reversals, and seafloor spreading are concepts related to plate tectonics but were not introduced by Wegener. Subduction is part of the plate - tectonic process where one plate moves under another. Magnetic reversals are related to the Earth's magnetic field changes recorded in rocks. Seafloor spreading is the process by which new oceanic crust is formed at mid - ocean ridges.
