Matching
These statements ask about the various theories that were presented in an attempt to explain the new information discovered during the 19th century. Match the theory with the description .
Premises:
ruptures in Earth's crust where plates meet
Species represent links in a chain leading toward perfection.
where the advancing edge of one plate plows under an adjacent plate, buckling it
Unique catastrophic geological events altered the face of the Earth in the past.
c hange in the line of descent of a species
portions of Earth's outermost layer of rock, which move continents to new locations over geologic time
wells up at oceanic ridges and drives the movement of tectonic plates
these form as a plate moves across an undersea hot spot
Gradual geological changes have shaped the Earth.
