GEOL/ENVI 170, Quiz 1, Sept 07 Ethan Kurkoski 1) List two types of geologic evidence that Alfred Wegner pointed to as evidence of the theory of “Continental Drift”, or the idea that the continents were at one time joined together in different orientations at various times in the geologic past. - The same fossils from specific time periods can be found on different continents which correspond to where they could have been previously joined - The distribution of glacial deposits can be best explained if the continents were part of Pangea. The direction of glacial movements can also be inferred using glacial deposits on continents not currently near the poles 2) Briefly describe two different phenomena that can be observed and measured using the remnant paleomagnetism of iron minerals in rocks. In other words, what are two things that geologists can study or observe using the paleomagnetic alignment of iron- bearing mineral grains in rocks? - Magnetic stratigraphy can be studied and observed from paleomagnetism preserved in rocks - Paleomagnetism can be used to determine whether or not a rock has moved a long distance from where it was originally formed, and can also be used to infer the latitude at which continents formed 3) List one example (modern location) of a divergent plate margin between two oceanic plates, and one example (location) of a divergent plate margin forming below a continental plate. - One example of a divergent plate margin between two oceanic plates is the Mid-Ocean Ridges - One example of a divergent plate margin forming below a continental plate is the East African Rift System
