Which of the following shows evidence of continental drift?
A. Fossil evidence
B. Glacial deposits
C. Match up of landforms, rocks, and other resources
D. All of the above
My answer is D. am i right?
looks good
Yes, you are correct. The evidence of continental drift includes all of the options mentioned (A. Fossil evidence, B. Glacial deposits, and C. Match up of landforms, rocks, and other resources). These pieces of evidence support the theory that the Earth's continents were once connected and have since moved apart over geologic time.
Yes, you are correct. The correct answer is D. All of the above. Allow me to explain why each option provides evidence of continental drift:
A. Fossil evidence: Fossils of the same species have been found on different continents, suggesting that these continents were once connected. For example, the presence of the same dinosaur species (such as the Mesosaurus) in both South America and Africa indicates that these continents were once joined.
B. Glacial deposits: Glacial deposits, such as till and moraines, have been discovered in regions that are currently far from any glaciers. This suggests that these areas were once covered by glaciers and were in different positions relative to the poles. For example, glacial striations (scratches on bedrock caused by glaciers) have been found in Africa, India, and South America, indicating that these continents were once part of a supercontinent that experienced glaciation.
C. Match up of landforms, rocks, and other resources: The geological features, rock types, and distribution of natural resources match up across different continents, suggesting that these continents were once joined. For instance, the Appalachian Mountains of North America correspond with the Caledonian Mountains in Scotland and Ireland, indicating that these landforms were once connected.
Therefore, all of the options (fossil evidence, glacial deposits, and match up of landforms, rocks, and other resources) provide evidence for continental drift.
