1. How did society view Alfred Wegener’s continental drift theory? Explain the differences between these points-of-view.

2. Distinguish between internal and external processes that shape the Earth’s surface.

3. Discuss the difference between porosity and permeability of earth materials and how they affect their development and use of underground water supplies.
