Answer 1

Answer:

c

Explanation:

thats my thoughts. depends on you if you agree. thanks

Answer 2

The following is not valid proof of the movement of the options plate:

c. Remnants of mesosaurus fossils of reptiles of freshwater.

• Remnants of Mesosaurus freshwater reptiles that are half a meter long. Mesosaurus flourished at the beginning of the Mesozoic Era, about 240 million years ago.
• The Mesosaurus had swimming limbs, but it could also walk on the ground.
• Other fossils and Mesosaurus suggest that they lived in lakes and harbors on the coast or in harbors.
• Dark blue depicts the remains of reptiles of freshwater Mesosaurus. The green shows fossils of fern Glossopteris found on all southern continents.
• d. Match the magnetic patterns with the age of the stones on both sides of the inland hills.
• This creates a uniform pattern of magnetic lines of opposite polarity on both sides of the oceanic hills.
• These line patterns provide a history of underwater expansion. Geophysicists can study these patterns from the confusing magnetic fields measured by a magnetometer.
• When mud erupts in the middle of the ocean it cools and turns into solid rock.
• As it cools it becomes a permanent magnet in the earth's magnetic field.
