Question

Which of the following support the Continental Drift theory?
A.the continents did not move as noted in the 1920's and the 1930's
B.the fit of the continents,geologic features, and fossils
C.both a and b
D. either a or b

Answer 1

$\large \underline {ANSWER}$

Wegener used fossil evidence to support his continental drift hypothesis. The fossils of these organisms are found on lands that are now far apart. ... Wegener suggested that these creatures were alive in warm climate zones and that the fossils and coal later had drifted to new locations on the continents.

Answer 2

B. The fit of the continents, geologic features, and fossils support the Continental Drift theory.

• The continental drift theory given by Alfred Wegner states that the continental plates are always in a state of motion.
• These movements are however so slow that it takes centuries to make a noticeable change.
• The excavation of similar fossils along the coastlines of different continents, the jig-saw fit of the continents, and the geological rock distribution confirm that the seven continents were earlier a single large landmass.
