Consider the following statements with respect to the Continental Drift Theory
1. Alfred Wegener suggested Polar fleeing force and tidal force are responsible for the continental drift.
2. The Polar wandering shows that the continents have frequently moved and changed directions of their motion from time to time.
3. Permo-Carboniferous glaciations are distributed towards Laurasia of the so called Pangea.
4. Pangea was surrounded by the vast Pacific Ocean, which later on was sub-divided into different oceans after the expansion of the enclosed vast continent.
How many of the statements given above are correct?
Only One
Only Two
Only Three
All Four
1 and 2 only
Alfred Wegener suggested Polar fleeing force and tidal force are responsible for the continental drift.
Incorrect. Alfred Wegener proposed the Continental Drift Theory, but he did not attribute it to "Polar fleeing force and tidal force." He suggested that the continents were once joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea and later drifted apart.
The Polar wandering shows that the continents have frequently moved and changed directions of their motion from time to time.
Correct. Alfred Wegener used the evidence of polar wandering (apparent movement of the Earth's pole positions) to support his idea of continental drift.
Permo-Carboniferous glaciations are distributed towards Laurasia of the so-called Pangea.
Incorrect. Permo-Carboniferous glaciations were distributed towards Gondwana, not Laurasia, in the context of the proposed supercontinent Pangaea.
Pangaea was surrounded by the vast Pacific Ocean, which later on was subdivided into different oceans after the expansion of the enclosed vast continent.
Incorrect. Pangaea was surrounded by a vast ocean called Panthalassa, not the Pacific Ocean.
Therefore, the correct answer is 4 - 1 and 2 only.
