Question
Which one of the following characteristics of the earth is not explained by the tetrahedral hypothesis?
Options:
A .  Triangular shape of the continents and the oceans.
B .  Antipodal arrangement of the continents and oceans.
C .  Drifting of the continents.
D .  Location of chain of Fold Mountains around the Pacific Ocean.
Answer: Option C
Answer: (c)
The Tetrahedral hypothesis is an obsolete scientific theory attempting to explain the arrangement of the Earth’s continents and oceans by referring to the geometry of a tetrahedron.
Although it was a historically interesting theory in the late 19th and early 20th century, it was superseded by the concepts of continental drift and modern plate tectonics.
