【万物简史】PART III CH 12大地在移动（6）

听力简介：

魏格纳犯过错误，这点不假。他断言格陵兰岛在以每年大约1.6公里的速度向西漂移。根据当时的认识，无法解释是什么力驱动了这样大规模的移动。英国地质学家阿瑟·霍姆斯是知道辐射热会在地球内部产生对流的第一位科学家。认为这种对流是驱动大陆漂移的动力，他的这种看法在当时比较激进，引发争议~~~

To be sure, Wegener made mistakes. He [-1-] that Greenland is drifting west by about a mile a year, which is clearly nonsense. (It's more like half an inch.) Above all, he could offer no [-2-] explanation for how the landmasses moved about. [---3---] Nothing then known could plausibly explain what motored these massive movements.

It was Arthur Holmes, the English geologist who did so much to determine the age of the Earth, who suggested a possible way. [---4---] In theory these could be powerful enough to slide continents around on the surface. In his popular and influential textbook Principles of Physical Geology, first published in 1944, Holmes laid out a continental drift theory that was in its fundamentals the theory that prevails today. [---5---] One reviewer there fretted, without any evident sense of irony, that Holmes presented his arguments so [-6-] that students might actually come to believe them.
